I'm happy for the family that they got ownership of their land back. It's sad that ownership of the land was ever taken away from them and that it took so long for justice to prevail.

This is but a small bit of justice for the Williams family. Institutionalized discrimination and trickery was used to steal their land from them. Now that they have it back, the state should be bearing the financial obligation to return it to the condition it was in when the land was seized, IMO.

This is a basic property rights issue in my opinion. One small victory in the battle of property owners vs. the oppressive federal government's land grabbing tactics, IMO. We need tens of THOUSANDS of more cases like this!

An early land grab by eco-freaks. Swampland indeed, they grew beans and cotton on it.

Records show that a judge in 1965 said allowing the state's claim would create a "severe injustice," but nonetheless signed an order giving the property to the state.

Amazing. This judge had an inkling in the back of his mind what a judge should be, but in the end felt more loyalty to injustice.

Its called the "justice" system for a reason and judges and juries should remind themselves of that.
