Summary:
On New Year's Day 1923, a mob of white men descended on Rosewood,
Florida, to avenge an act that was only rumored to be true. The mob
burned houses, killed many black men and women, and drove the rest of
the small town's inhabitants away forever. This book contains the
complete text of Like Judgment Day, Michael D'Orso's historical
account of the Rosewood massacre, and An Essay on Rosewood by John
Singleton, who directed the film Rosewood. With skillful storytelling
and the detailed eye of an historian, D'Orso relates this gripping
tale of a dark moment in America's history. Singleton's essay helps
underscore the aftermath of this tragedy, which is evidenced in the
ruined lives and shattered dreams of the people of Rosewood. It is a
powerful story of ruin and redemption that still resonates more than
half a century later.
