An advance screening of Sarah’s Oil is taking place in Kansas, where Sarah Rector once lived and where a street was recently named in her honor ahead of the film’s November 7 release.
The new feature film, starring Naya Desir-Johnson, Sonequa Martin-Green, and Zachary Levi, tells the remarkable true story of Sarah Rector — America’s first Black female millionaire. Born in 1902 in Twine, Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), Rector was a member of the Creek Freedmen community. At just 11 years old, oil was discovered on her family’s land, launching her to national fame and unprecedented wealth for an African American at that time.
In the 1920s, Rector moved to Kansas City, where she purchased what is now known as the historic Rector Mansion at 12th and Euclid.
