This story will open your eyes to a moral outrage that has never been disclosed in print before. Well researched and thoroughly documented, this narrative is must reading for those who want a deeper understanding of how different rules applied for black farmers in Freestone County, Texas.

___________________________________________________________________

The Civil War, along with the 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution, should have been the end of racial injustice for blacks in America. However, many black farmers in Freestone and Anderson County, Texas, tragically experienced sustained injustice as their land along the Trinity River was ripped from them in the name of blatant greed. Theft of land is what happened, and the cover up has endured for over 100 years. Their descendants are still dealing with the aftermath of that legalized theft. Colored River, reveals a timeline of dastardly horrific events, including, collusion, conspiracy, and fraud that victimized and destroyed many black families. While using Jim Crow laws and the legal justice system as cover, a corrupt cabal of lawyers, con men, and judges, systematically violated the civil and property rights of hundreds of black farmers. Follow the timeline from the beginning of Texas, as a Republic, to post Civil War times, and witness first hand, the impact of racism, hatred and greed that eventually robbed these families of not only their land, but also their liberty, their future, and their prosperity.
