Description
-
This abstract provides a brief account of the Rosewood Case, a horrific 1923 race riot caused by aggravated racial relations from the winter of 1922. A white woman’s claim of rape set off a group of white men to begin shooting people who they believed were connected to the assault, all residents of a small, thriving predominantly Black town.
