Racially motivated violent conflict dominated the South in the early 20th century. Some of the deadliest and most inhumane racial disturbances occurred among black people during this era. In this article, I will discuss what we know today as the "Redwood Massacre", a brutal event that took place in a rural area known as Levy County, located in Rosewood, Florida, in the United States in January 1923, which cost the lives of innocent black people. to racial violence. Although Rosewood was predominantly black, that would soon change. The morning of January 1, 1923 would be the beginning of something the citizens of Rosewoods never saw coming. The allegations of beating and rape of Fannie Taylor, a young white woman married to James Taylor, who worked at the Cummer and Sons sawmill in Sumner, would not only spark a riot, but, as the news spread quickly, lead to a story of events that will happen later. Fannie Taylor accused her attacker of being a black man living in a nearby community. The white men believed this rumor to be true and thought it was about Jesse Hunter, who was serving time for carrying a concealed weapon. They quickly set out to find Jesse Hunter, a convict who had just escaped from a team he had worked for. After watching the film, I have a new respect for black people who endured racial prejudice and were subjected to mistreatment because of their skin color. The movie made me really sad and gave me an idea of ​​what might have happened in Rosewood, Florida. The violence suffered by the population was hurtful to watch and unimaginable. Reading the report does not have the same effect as the film because the film actually gives a more vivid idea of ​​the violence that occurred. Now...... middle of paper ...... a lot of historical events that took place in the film report. He could have made them a little more specific, but I feel like it would have detracted from the film. That would have made it more historical instead of making it grab my attention like it did. After reading the article The Rosewood Massacre and watching the movie Rosewood, I learned that black people are very easily subject to racial prejudice. White people were gullible and convinced to do things no matter how bad it was or how much harm it might cause others. I knew the justice system was unfair, but it seemed like there wasn't one at all or that justice was only for white people. The period of the Rosewood Massacre was not one I would want anyone to participate in; it was horrible. Works Cited Lovejoy (1993). The Rosewood Massacre.
