Ninety-three-year-old Josephine Wright’s home has been in her family since the end of the Civil War.
Now more than 150 years later, developers who tried to buy her out have filed a lawsuit against her, built a road about 20 feet from her front porch and show no signs of letting up.
But Wright is putting up a fight. She has countersued the developers, enlisted the help of a civil rights attorney and so successfully argued her case in national media, she’s got celebrities like Tyler Perry and Kyrie Irving lining up to help. An online fundraising effort for Wright had brought in more than $167,000 by Tuesday.
