Annotation |
In January 1923 the African American mill town of Rosewood, Florida, was destroyed by a mob seeking a rape suspect. An unknown number of people were killed, and the townspeople never returned. For decades no one spoke of the tragedy until Sixty Minutes broadcast the story in December 1983. Violence and strong language.
