100 years ago, a Black community was destroyed by a White mob
In the years after World War I, Black people were thriving in the central Florida town of Rosewood when a White mob driven by racial animosity decimated the entire community within days. CNN's Nadia Romero looks back 100 years later.

Everyone now knows about


The black Wall Street massacre by white people in Ok



Very few were EVER TAUGHT about the other cases around the nation


It’s why we never learned the real lesson as a nation

The Rosewood massacre was a racially motivated massacre of black people and the destruction of a black town that took place during the first week of January 1923 in rural Levy County, Florida, United States. At least six black people and two white people were killed, but eyewitness accounts suggested a higher death toll of 27 to 150. The town of Rosewood was destroyed in what contemporary news reports characterized as a race riot. Florida had an especially high number of lynchings of black men in the years before the massacre,[2] including a well-publicized incident in December 1922.[citation needed]

Before the massacre, the town of Rosewood had been a quiet, primarily black, self-sufficient whistle stop on the Seaboard Air Line Railway. Trouble began when white men from several nearby towns lynched a black Rosewood resident because of accusations that a white woman in nearby Sumner had been assaulted by a black drifter. A mob of several hundred whites combed the countryside hunting for black people and burned almost every structure in Rosewood. For several days, survivors from the town hid in nearby swamps until they were evacuated to larger towns by train and car. No arrests were made for what happened in Rosewood. The town was abandoned by its former black and white residents; none of them ever moved back, none of them were ever compensated for the loss of their land, and the town ceased to exist.

Although the rioting was widely reported around the United States at the time, few official records documented the event. The survivors, their descendants, and the perpetrators all remained silent about Rosewood for decades. Sixty years after the rioting, the story of Rosewood was revived by major media outlets when several journalists covered it in the early 1980s. The survivors and their descendants all organized in an attempt to sue the state for failing to protect Rosewood's black community. In 1993, the Florida Legislature commissioned a report on the incident. As a result of the findings, Florida compensated the survivors and their descendants for the damages which they had incurred because of racial violence. The incident was the subject of a 1997 feature film which was directed by John Singleton. In 2004, the state designated the site of Rosewood as a Florida Heritage Landmark.

Officially, the recorded death toll during the first week of January 1923 was eight (six blacks and two whites). Some survivors' stories claim that up to 27 black residents were killed, and they also assert that newspapers did not report the total number of white deaths. Minnie Lee Langley, who was in the Carrier house when it was besieged, recalls that she stepped over many white bodies on the porch when she left the house.[3] A newspaper article which was published in 1984 stated that estimates of up to 150 victims may have been exaggerations.[4] Several eyewitnesses claim to have seen a mass grave which was filled with the bodies of black people; one of them remembers seeing 26 bodies being covered with a plow which was brought from Cedar Key. However, by the time authorities investigated these claims, most of the witnesses were dead or too elderly and infirm to lead them to a site to confirm the stories.[5]

History has to be TAUGHT for us to learn from it



This is why we cant shake racism

Evince will celebrate the anniversary by being as racist as possible to any and all White people she encounters today. NEWSFLASH Evince......for the most part we dont give a shit about what racists like you say about it. We tend to laugh it off while laughing at people like you because quite frankly,......how could we NOT laugh at people like you? If being racist is the salve that you, Guno, and others like you NEED
to make your wittle feewings feel better about yourself,.........go for it. Just dont expect many whites to take you serious.

Thank goodness the left is LYING about the beginnings of Slavery in the west, native american history pre Columbus,..and the winning of the Southwest. I mean,.....you sure couldnt expect them to tell the TRUTH that everyone actually KNOWS anyway could you?

You cant combat racism with more racism. Especially considering the 1st racism is almost non existent now. Should we combat drug abuse by bringing MORE DRUGS into drug infested areas too? Things like this are the reasons so many people cant take crying clowns like Desh and Guno serious. How could they?

That's true, but then that also assumes that the Right wants to GIVE UP racism. That's not so clear. That's how they get elected. Remember Charlottesville? There's a reason Trump was conciliatory to the Neo-Nazis ("some good people, on both sides"). He knew which side the GOP's votes were buttered on.

Especially considering the 1st racism is almost non existent now.

Maybe if you were to meet some black people and talk to them (assuming you could control yourself long enough to be around some) you might find it not as clear cut as YOU fantasize.

Should we combat drug abuse by bringing MORE DRUGS into drug infested areas too?

I think the CIA already tried that with Crack.

Honestly I wish the person who violated Planet of the Apes to make a MAGAT meme should be thrown in jail.

We are a rainbow nation


From our very first breath we were



The founders wanted to create a nation where people from all over the world could prove DEMOCRACY was the best form of self rule in the world



They chose a system that allowed people to chose their fate and set a path where all could prosper



The world came here to join and prove them correct


Some were even Forced to come here and still to this day their descendants are proving DEMOCRACY is the best system and you can’t selectively deside some humans are NOT human while honoring DEMOCRACY



Even the founders were aware they were not perfect



So they designed a system that could improve its march to freedom and help create a MORE PERFECT UNION



The lies of lessor men are slowly crushed as we march towards that more perfect union


All us rainbow of the earths humans honor the founders when they seek to be Americans


Every immigrant should make you PROUD


IF NOT


YOU ARE THE LESSOR MEN AND YOUR LIES WILL BE CRUSHED
