Burden of Truth: A Path to Justice for My Family & Community - Paperback

by Robby Carrier Bethel (Author), Kim Malcom (Author)

In the heart of rural Louisiana, a courageous woman takes a stand against injustice, corruption, and the weight of history to recover her family's property and dignity.

As a child, Robby Carrier Bethel knew there were secrets about her family's farmland, but she would work for more than 20 years to learn the whole truth behind the secrets. This is the story of Robby's search for justice for her ancestors and her children, fighting one of the world's largest oil companies and prominent white families in a Louisiana town divided by race and whose elite seemed committed to maintaining hundreds of years of injustice.
