| This is a story based on an actual incident, an American tragedy that everyone involved tried to forget or deny During the first week of January, 1923, Rosewood, a flourishing black town in central Florida, was burned to the ground by whites from the neighboring, less prosperous, town of Sumner Fueled by a white woman s falsified story that she was assaulted and beaten by a black stranger, a mob of Sumner men declared war on their unsuspecting neighbors Many of Rosewood s inhabitants were murdered in cold blood and scores more were driven from their beds into the surrounding dank woods, never to return to their homes -- or their secure way of life -- again And for more than 70 years Rosewood s history and destruction were kept a secret, never discussed by the survivors | ||
