- Rosewood_massacre abstract ""The Rosewood massacre" was a racially-motivated mob atrocity in Florida during January 1-7, 1923. In the violence at least six blacks and two whites were killed, and the town of Rosewood was abandoned and destroyed in what contemporary news reports characterized as a race riot. Racial disturbances were common during the early 20th century in the United States, reflecting the nation's rapid social changes. Florida had an especially high number of lynchings in the years before the massacre, including the well-publicized Perry race riot where a black man had been burned at the stake in December 1922.Rosewood was a quiet, primarily black, self-sufficient whistle stop on the Seaboard Air Line Railway. Spurred by unsupported accusations that a white woman in nearby Sumner had been beaten and possibly raped by a black drifter, white men from nearby towns lynched a Rosewood resident. When black citizens defended themselves against further attack, several hundred whites combed the countryside hunting for black people and burned almost every structure in Rosewood. Survivors hid for several days in nearby swamps and were evacuated by train and car to larger towns. Although state and local authorities were aware of the violence, they made no arrests for the activities in Rosewood. The town was abandoned by black residents during the attacks. None ever returned.Although the rioting was widely reported around the country, few official records documented the event. Survivors, their descendants, and the perpetrators remained silent about Rosewood for decades. Sixty years after the rioting, the story of Rosewood was revived in major media on July 25, 1982, with journalist Gary Moore's expose in Floridian magazine of the St. Petersburg Times, after he stumbled across traces of what had become a case of intense cultural denial. In 1983, Moore then took the case to "60 Minutes" and national exposure began. However, absent was any effort by official or academic bodies in Florida to examine or certify the many witnesses who by then had been located. In this subtle way, by omission, cultural avoidance continued, leaving the case open to exaggerations that would later become extensive, as of 1991 and the beginning of promoter Michael McCarthy's Rosewood claims case.In the meantime, in 1985-1986, after the initial media exposure, survivors and descendants began forming a network called Rosewood Family Reunion, organized by Annie Belle Lee in Lacoochee, Florida. When the promotional Rosewood claims case was first launched as of 1991, this group, along with other survivors, were unfairly excluded and controversy resulted as publicity revealed the distortion. Out of such conflicts from December 1992 onward came the Rosewood Claims Case in the Florida Legislature.In effect, it sued the state for having failed to protect the Rosewood community in 1923. In 1993, the Florida Legislature commissioned a report on the events, and Florida became the first U.S. state to compensate survivors and their descendants for damages incurred because of racial violence. The incident was the subject of a 1997 film directed by John Singleton. In 2004, the state designated the site of Rosewood as a Florida Heritage Landmark.".
