Ed Jennings Jr. after he unveiled the Rosewood, Florida Historical marker at a dedication ceremony. On Jan. 1, 1923, a white woman in the neighboring community of Sumner alleged that she had been attacked in her home by an unidentified Black man, according to a 1993 report written by five scholars for the Florida Board of Regents. As the news of the woman’s report spread to the white community, violence broke out. A Black church was burned, and then days later, a mob of at least 100 white people “gathered and watched” the burning of the remaining structures in the Black part of Rosewood.
