The Rosewood Film vs. The Rosewood Report

Between 1917 and 1923 there is a big panic on African American terrorism and white mobs will show many violence and torture to blacks (Rosewood Report, 1993, p. 3). The white mobs will come to the black community from Chicago to Tulsa, Omaha, East St. Louis, and many other communities there, and finally to Rosewood (Rosewood Report, 1993 pg 3). During the twentieth century, African Americans began to leave South in a record number to escape apartheid repression.

Rosewood is a relatively wealthy, nearly black town a few miles from the Gulf Coast of Florida, with African Methodist Church, Freemason Lodge combining school buildings, and two buildings. Please keep it. Most of the people living there are housewives from white families near Sumner or working in the town's sawmill. In early January, the scream of Sumner's Franny Taylor took her neighbor to her door, Taylor was beaten, her face was obviously injured, and she was summoned as the attacker was black It was. Witnesses of her family staff explained another story; they said she was hit by an argument with the white lover she saw while she was doing work. Nevertheless, according to Caucasian witnesses and hundreds of Sumner inhabitants Edith Foster, they were represented by the county sheriff.

Between 1985 and 1986 the survivors and descendants of the Holocaust began forming a network called Rosewood family reunion. This organization was organized by Annie Belle Lee of Lacotie, Florida and eventually submitted Rosewood's claim in Florida State Council in 1992. This organization appealed to the African-American community that the state could not protect Rosewood in 1923. In 1993, the Florida Council called for a report on the Holocaust. In 1994 Florida became the first US state to compensate for the damage suffered as a result of ethnic violence against A-bomb survivors and their descendants. This event was the subject of the 1997 feature film of John Singleton's director. In 2004, the state designated Rosewood as a traditional building in Florida.

It took 60 years for refugees to return to Rosewood. Their visit was initiated by Florida journalist Gary Moore who tripped over the story of the Holocaust. His 1983 article of the St. Petersburg Times collected attention throughout the country. The story of 60 minutes is a story of the same year when a weak woman in her 70s reunited with a part of his compatriots on the premises of the town. But she tells a story. In 1994 she pointed out that the state failed to protect Redwood residents at the Florida State Council and testified that it would support the bill requiring compensation for survivors. The bill was passed. Minnie Lee once worked at the factory to make a broom, retired without pension and earned $ 150,000 in prize money. She died at the age of 82 one year later.
