Legal Battle: 93-Year-Old Fights to Keep Her Hilton Head Island Home

TL;DR Summary
A 93-year-old woman, Josephine Wright, is embroiled in a legal battle over her family's land on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, with a property developer seeking to build a residential development next door. The developer filed a lawsuit claiming that Wright's structures were encroaching on their land and causing delays. Wright filed a counterclaim, accusing the developer of intimidation and harassment. The case highlights the historic expropriation of Black-owned land, and Wright hopes her fight will inspire other Black landowners to defend their property. Celebrities, including Kyrie Irving and Tyler Perry, have shown support for her cause.
