Marker notes 1923 Horida raeial violence By Vaughn Wilson THE CAPITAL OUTLOOK (FLA.) ROSEWOOD, Fla. - In a celebration marking a his toric change in fortune for the area that once was this small town. Gov. Jeb Bush recently presented a historic marker to commemorate “seven days of hate that shattered a community.” Just 30 minutes southwest Gainesville, Rosewood’s notoriety came from a New Year’s Day massacre in 1923. Racial unrest led to the area’s White residents killing of several Blacks, massive destruction of prop erty and displacement of hundreds of other Blacks, whose houses were burned to the ground. Official reports place the number of dead at eight, but Rosewood descendants claim that hundreds more may have lost their lives that night, said Florida A&M University Dean of Arts& Sciences Larry Rivers, co principal investigator into Rosewood’s history. But some blacks escaped by run ning through muck and marsh to do so. In 1994, Sen. A1 Lawson, D-Tallahassee, presented a bill before the state Legislature to provide reparations in the form of finances, land and scholar ships for the famUies and descendants of the blacks who were affected by the “Rosewood Massacre.” Ironically, Lawson endured death threats during the years he fought doggedly to advance the bill. The legislation finally passed and was signed by then-Gov. Lawton Chiles and Rosewood rose again fium the ashes.
