- Rosewood Massacre by Vicious White Lynch Mob (1923). iloveancestry.com Ed Bradley goes back in time, through eye-witness testimony, to the "Old South" and reconstructs the day that Rosewood Florida died.
In the small town of Rosewood, Florida, a lie was told. A rumor was repeated. A lynch mob was formed. And a massacre began…
Honoring the ancestors who were slaughtered during the Rosewood Massacre that started on January 1, 1923. Never Forget! The wild mob of whites, 1000-strong, obliterated Rosewood Florida, killing so many Black Americans.
IMPORTANT: We disagree with the number of victims the TV host keeps referring to as a maximum of 40. We believe the number of deaths during that horrific event is way more significant than what has been reported in the past.
We also honor the survivors of this massacre in the video that still were dealing with the inevitable trauma of experiencing such violence and hate from white folks.
By 1900 Rosewood FL had a black majority of citizens. On the morning of January 1, 1923, Fannie Coleman Taylor of Sumner Florida, claimed she was assaulted by a black man... Read the full story with a shocking secret revealed: iloveancestry....

*Who else is here to learn more about what they don’t want us to know? They want us to be discouraged from doing this again that’s why they keep destroying our efforts!! ✊🏽🖤*
Yep!
KImberly Jones video made me look.
First time hearing about this in 2020.. I'm 32.. we have aaallllot of black history..
Indeed they try to hide the racist and hate-filled past of the whites in the US
That's why I'm here. I heard about it in passing(from other black people).
Saddest part was her advice. Dont never stay anywhere where white folks can surround u. Powerful yet so sad the fear that we needed to have to survive and stay safe from folk like this.
Yes! That was hard to hear!
They put this line into the movie too...this is such a sad part of history that you don't hear of much, If at all and these are the things that should be taught, to keep from repeating history it has to be taught. You can't just sweep it under the rug and forget about it. History like this needs to be discussed because those that lost their lives and the ones that survived deserve to be remembered at the least 😢
Exactly why I don’t understand why people move to all white neighborhoods happily 🤦🏽♀️
The best part of her advice
It's not like that now
And they say "make America great again" when was it ever great for us???
My god say it louder
Never
Right. Let’s not forget about black Wall Street. Just got done watching Rosewood. I wouldn’t doubt there’s more stuff we haven’t uncovered yet.
@@Alex-wt9nf look up ocoee massacre but I’m pretty sure you heard of it
@@Dontae_777 looking it up now and saw the article. I wasn’t aware of this one. I’m doing more reach on black history to be more informed. Crazy how we were never taught this in school. I’m both black and Mexican and I’m learning more about the struggles each side went though.
I was born in Gainesville, where many of the survivors fled, 29 years later. I have no doubt that in my youth I laid eyes on both victims and perpetrators. I knew absolutely nothing of this until the 80s. A conspiracy of silence reigned, for too long.
So true
It was the same here in Oklahoma with the Greenwood. For years Oklahoma kept the Greenwood massacre a dark secret until recent years...
I lived in Gainesville, I too didn't know anything until the 80s. I asked about a sign that was there for a long time. The sign said 5 acres for sale by John Bradley. A friend of mine then filled me in on the story. I worked with 2 of the carter girls, I was not allowed in there home. But I did understand though. I was white.
My sister went to Santa Fe in Gainesville and our mom, one time when visiting, told us the story of rosewood and we drove to rosewood…There was an unsettling feeling there. Though it was 2015 at the time, you could feel the unrest in the air 😢I was ready to leave as soon as we got there 😩
60 years later......& she still feared going back😢
Sad reality 👆
I never knew of this until John Singleton did a movie titled "Rosewood" back in the 90's
Same here
Yeap because they keep there EVIL deeds to themselves they don’t want us to see this or Tulsa or MOVE .
Facts.
Yes I remember going to the theater to see it as a kid Brilliant film.
I saw it on Netflix and thought it was fiction because it was too bad to have never heard about.
My dad made our family watch the Rosewood movie when I was little, we all cried like babies. That was sad what happened to them.....
I studied black history but I was still appalled and disturbed
My mom did the same thing!
@@CameraShii86 What blew my mind is knowing that they tried to keep it a secret 🤦🏽♀️
I think I was 6-7 when I saw this movie. Seeing that they wasted little kids is what stuck with me.
Omg same.
This country owe us money for all that happened to our ancestors and all they done ! All the work my ancestors did for free!
Money? This country owe dignity to their black citizens.
They sure do.
@@MrMorristhecatp facts , all money ain't good money . i agree , i rather they take that money and rebuild our black neighborhoods, afterschool programs for kids , buy better books, computers and school equippment, give the growing kids of today the chance to have a better life, they should be able to enjoy their youth
Earn it
They owe us EVRYTHANG. I want my land, apologies, hell I could use a few underpaid servants for my business. This shit hurts man. This is my home right here. Try to look up immokalee Florida
The movie Rosewood is heart wrenching. America has a lot of blood land. So sad.
Cali 6311 Amen!
All countries sweetheart.
AVA Sinclair so? This happened in OUR country. Stop trying to make us care about other people’s struggles when nobody wants to recognize ours....sweetheart.
jeremy holland Thank you !!!
Bliss Blissful you are very welcome Queen. Stay up.
That’s why my grandparents came north, my grandmother almost cut off a white man head with a axe. She threw the axe it hit him almost hitting him in the head. My grandfather took my grandmother and fled to Michigan so they wouldn’t try and kill her. This happened in Montgomery Alabama.
Other Black holocausts in America:
Tulsa Oklahoma 1919
Elaine Arkansas 1921
Do you know of others?
Red summer, devils punch bowl, move 1985 bombing, reverse underground railroad (I'll post more if I remember them)
What happen in Arkansas?
@@biracialangel8040 Johnson jefferies riots
@@biracialangel8040 i do. Seneca Village in New York and look up the Red Summer...white vigilantes went on a black killing spree in over 30 cities across America during the summer of 1919.
My great grandmother told stories about Rosewood when I was younger. She was raised not to far from Rosewood. Sad story, one of two many stories here in the Americas.
Where was she from?
Why didn’t I learn this in school????
They don’t want y’all to know the truth in order to keep the system the way they have it. Even Central Park was black owned before it even became a park. They did the same thing they did to Rosewood and stole the land and murdered my people. This new Generation is better though because being fresh out of school, having many friends of various ethnicities and seeing how much hasn’t changed for Blacks is heart wrenching. The young have purer hearts so they know it’s wrong. Racism is taught, it’s not something white people are born with. That’s why it’s so important to stand for what’s right now for a better tomorrow. Before they begin to corrupt these young minds.
America hides all of its evils, and they avoid taking about the truths that show most early US presidents were slave owners. They only talk about Martin Luther King, but they avoid talking about the horrors Malcom X faced throughout his life at the hands of racist white people. They don’t talk about Nat Turner, or Haiti’s leaders who were responsible for fighting oppression and slavery to become the first black nation to be free from colonial oppression. If knowledge is power, then America knew fully well, that by depriving Black Americans of the knowledge of the horrors their ancestors faced, they would take away that form of power from black people as well. Knowing about political leaders in the black community creates revolutionary minds. They wanted to silence those possibilities. Look at what white owned music labels did to the hip hop industry after Public Enemy released Fight the Power, and NWA released F the Police. They threatened to ban the music, which goes against free speech. They then went ahead and started to censor the music even more to drive more advertising sales. Universal Media Group, which owns Def Jam, Interscope, Death Row Records, Bad Boy Records and many other labels, got rid of the street teams at record labels that promoted more underground and socially conscious hip hop artists to prevent the movement that Public Enemy began with Fight the Power. They had thousands of people protesting police brutality in the video, which was directed by Spike Lee. This is why songs like that aren’t common anymore. The labels only care about selling content to largely white advertising companies. Ignorance is bliss, and America loves to sell the illusion of bliss, but not the reality of it. Most of the bliss white America has, came from the backs of black people’s labour. They then steal the music, and sell blue eyed soul, after telling black musicians that R&B doesn’t sell. That’s not the truth, the truth is simply that the labels do not want to promote black love, nor do they want to promote the positive musicians who create R&B music.
Unfucking believable...I'm from FL born and raised and never knew this
Exactly
They don't teach this in schools because it goes against them and they don't want to be exposed for who they are. They created the stories that makes them look like hero's but we know that the real hero's are all the black activists whom suffered and die for their rights, our rights. I pray that we continue to stand together and educate ourselves, our children to be as powerful as our Father in Heaven created us to be!!
So sad and stuff like this still exists in 2020 ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼BLACK LIVES MATTER✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

@@Enrij thank you.
“Took it like a soldier and stayed in those woods” my heart broke hearing this
Yes indeed lord.. Lying what woman.. cheating on her husband. Always lie On a black man,
Grew up an hour from Rosewood and am just learning of this today...I feel like my education system failed us.
They only teach white history of how they took the place but they don't tell all how evil they truly are
The school system did fail you and millions of others. Make no mistake, it was intentionally left out.
It was by design…
That's the point
I'm white, and in light of recent issues with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Daunte Wright, I've been doing my absolute best at educating myself on these important, old(er) events that my school disgracefully left out of our history lessons. knowing that my ancestors could potentially be perpetuators of these racial injustices, is truly sickening, my sincere condolences to all affected by white supremacy + police brutality. and on that note, there is an innocent black man, Rocky Myers, that is STILL on death row for a crime he didn't commit. he is also learning impaired, to which the judge showed no empathy or leniency towards. please sign the petition to hopefully grant him clemency!! @t
i tried putting the link to the petition but it doesn't look like it worked, just google; "ACLU Rocky Myers," and it should be the first result. keep fighting guys
I am glad that today’s generation are helping to fight for what is right. Being a human is far from just color. More blessings to you...
@@ElirasTreasure That's right, Thank you
Signed.
Thank You.
The movie is hard to watch, but it still doesn’t compare to what is being described in this video. Black trauma in AmeriKKKa is still alive & well today
Bullshit, nobody is doing this to black people today. Who's doing all the shootings in Chicago?
Rosewood is a really good movie though, you're right about that.
the fact that official figures list only 6 black victims is just despicable
It was at least over 200 people…..
@@allengreene9954 Bru 200 💀
They need reparations for their land, and pain and suffering.
There is probably no one left. This episode of 60 Minutes is from the 1980's. maybe even the 1970's not sure
We all need reparations 🖤
This is all our land that’s why they can’t give us reparations
This breaks my heart. It was SO wrong that this happened and worse yet, it isn't mentioned in history ANYWHERE. I hate that this happened.
It happens all the time.When they see we're doing better for ourselves they stuff it out.God bless America for those in power.
And what is even more criminal is that Desantis has made it that children won't be educated about this massacre unless they also hear about violence committed by black people.
The fact we wanted acceptance from these evil people 😒
Exactly
Not me. But the real trick bag within this doc is, the pales who appear in this, their ppl were the ones responsible for this, yet they sit there smug as a bug. Had to skim over their interview, I don't want to see those mfs at all!
My God. The movie was hard to watch but when you hear the real stories my god. These people went through hell
This is why they don't want black history talked.........
The movie was way less harsh than the reality .
Rosewood and Tulsa. SMH!
And Arkansas
And DC.. read this article apple.news/AZgQzwUDzSi-OH8E50FKYlw
Please explain
And Memphis
The late John Singleton did a fantastic job about this story Inna movie he did in the 90s. That movie was how alot of people found out about the story. Of course the history makers tried to say only around 40 people died,but the families n survivers say it was more around 1-200. I will believe their account because they had to bury their relatives n account for the bodies. This lady was so traumatized she never told her family. This is a part of history that should never be forgotten. Those families eventually got recognized in a law suit,I'm not sure if they were rewarded money.Just like other tragedies like this they owned their land and lost it never to be compensated.....
Damn I didn't know he died.
@@blyatman6660 Yes,talented John singleton died a little while back,so young,so sad...
This is bloody heart breaking.
Jealousy, Rage ,Raw Hatred prevailed cause nightmarish episode last for year's
Thank you for posting/sharing. Tragic.
🕎2 Esdras 6:53-59
54And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen. 55All this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes 56As for the other people, which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle: and hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falleth from a vessel. 57And now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords over us, and to devour us. 58But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy firstborn, thy only begotten, and thy fervent lover, are given into their hands. 59If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?
For what it’s worth… I’m a white French woman and my heart weeps hearing about your history… and witnessing history repeat itself over and over again. My daughter is 17 and I made sure to teach her that every man and woman is equal, no mater their ethnicity.
Rest in peace, beautiful people of Rosewood. We hear you. We see you. We share your burdens.
😢❤❤
There are so many events like this they don’t want us to know about.
(Writing this before viewing) I am appalled I have lived in Florida my entire life and I have only heard about this today through a podcast!!! My Medic partner was with me, and this is the first time for her too and she's older than I am! My heart breaks sending prayers and hoping people learn more about this and im sure sadly others that arent well known... I am going to keep digging.
“That’s when he dropped em.” “Dropped everyone that came to the door.” As he should’ve! They pushed him up against the wall, time to do what you gotta do.
That old lady seems to still believe as if it was a black dude that attacked fanny
I like how she said if he hadn't gone in on her nothing would have happened 🤣😂🤣🤣 fanny was a hussie though.
@@blyatman6660 right she was sleeping with that black man
@@wateasmiley1613 from what Ive been taught and told the man she was sleeping with was a white man. According to what people have said that Sarah Carrier who worked in the house, stated that there was no black man in that home that day. The only person who came was a white man who had come many times before and HE had beat her. Fanny simply lied. There was no black man to begin with. She was sleeping around and the man she was sleeping with beat her. She chose to lie and make up a non-existent black man.
I am crying now!!😭😭 This is still going on today right now in America. All Praises To The Most High God 👑💕💯
Yoooo that's crazy I'm in tears!! Especially when he asked her if she would go back. She said as long as I don't get hurt. That made me feel some type of way. It's so much to talk about. I believe all black people deserve reparations. They Wonder why we act a certain way. ALL THE HORRORS , COVER UPS, ETC IS STILL IN OUR DNA FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION . Stil dealing with the pain. Never been treated for it. Today I still see the hatred when it comes to Jobs, getting pulled over. High positions. It's crazy but yet instill I'm the crazy one. Sorry for venting but this video really pisses me off!
When she Stated 😩😖😓😪 that those EVIL ASS DEMONS! (Because that's what they ARE! & I'm NOT changing) made her GRANDFATHER Dig his own grave & he only had ONE arm!!! 🥺😤😪😪 Then they shot him backwards into his grave!! IT DOESN'T get ANY Eviler than THAT! Period smdh
exactly and some yt people want to tell us to get over it.... yea right
@@kariwilliams115 FACTS!!!!!!!!
Incidents like this happened all over the country, north and south.
During and after reconstruction new black communities began to spring up. Many showed great success and promise economically, educationally, etc.
as they began to grow and match or out perform near white communities they were all attacked. Many were destroyed all were wounded greatly. This is just one example of dozens.
Black people that moved to cities were met with a slower less obvious assault, but no less devastating. Many of the latter attacks still occur.
Wow..she was still a little afraid to go back there. The evil that happened there left an everlasting effect on folks. The old man walking and looking around, broke my heart.
Heard of Tulsa but never heard of this Rosewood. I just asked my mom about it who is a Haitian immigrant and she said yes, she remembered it. My sister was born the following year after it happened. My mother is in her 70s btw, and my sister is now in her 30s...let that sink in...
This happened in Rosewood in 1923.
You need to go back to school cuz yo math ain't adding up. 1923 not 1943 which means your sister would be 100 years old and ya momma 140 years old 🤔🤨😒 just be 🤫
When said she would go back to Rosewood if they don't let nobody bother her or nothing is so sad. After all these years she is still scared.
Another Porter?? What’s up family
I'm glad the some women and children were able to escape. My heart really goes out to the men who had nothing to do with this that were slaughtered. Just goes to show black men have been and are targeted everyday of their lives...
This shit is so sad I still to this day I can’t watch this movie I just don’t have the strength to
I agree. I remember watching in the 90’s but I don’t think I’d watch it again. Same thing with 12 years a slave
I feel your pain smh💔
@@richardramfire3971 I still haven't seen that movie. I am not mentally mature for movies like that😫😰
@@naimahx3643 I wouldn’t let my children watch it. There good stories though but also tragic and sad. You could probably handle rosewood but 12 years a slave is very tough to watch.
@@richardramfire3971 what the shit? Rosewood was way worse!! I mean both amazing movies but nah. The fucked up part is that one owner knew he was educated, and suspected he was a free man, but he had a debt. Sarah Paulson did an amazing job, too.
They dont teach this in school
They didn't want you to know that. Those are their secrets coming to the light they being exposed. 😭😭😭
The crazy part my grandparents never returned to Alabama not even for a visit. Later on most of our family moved up north and some remained in the South majority came north.
Yeah I was born in Lowndes county Alabama. We had to run inside and turn the lights out when we got news the klans were coming to town. They were and are Rotten People! Not all of them, because some of them were against how they treated us. They So full of hate. We can’t control the color we were born.
I would have definitely moved to the north.
God bless the souls of the Rosewood Massacre. 🙏🏾🕊🕊🕊
This is where today's "No Knock Raid" comes from!
A lot of them are still evil
This should have been the first subject in school smh
I wish African Americans Could Re invest in this place and rebuild a city there
Yes 🙌
So they can tear it down again ? Like all the other cities we built that got torn down.
We not African Americans we been here long before they(yt people) came here. Any moorish person is indigenous to this land. ✊🏿
Ima Florida native and always knew about this history of Rosewood and Ocoee... even had some family hung in North Florida there names was Rayfield Givens and Ben Givens in 1920.....
Lord have mercy Jesus 😭
10:34 “this boy”
Wow.
Take the time to learn this young King’s name.
@3amaintpretty stfu. You must just needed something to say.
It’s disrespectful to not say this young man’s name. Period.
This video represents racism. That’s the problem now. People are always trying to find ways to veer away from reality. If you don’t see the truth in what I said then my comment wasn’t for you and you are a part of the problem.
Gtfo.
Ancestor getting they revenge too
Just watch a documentary on Ocoee Florida, it reminded me of this story. We have a horrible history.
Only sick animals would commit such atrocities.
I lived in SW Gainesville from 2007-2012 and visited Cedar Key more than once. But at that time, I was unaware of the atrocities which took place in Rosewood. I'm currently (re)watching the 1997 movie "Rosewood". So I found this video clip.
I just want go to rosewood and pray 🙏🏾 for them
"wHy sHouLD bLaCk pEoPle gEt rEpArAtIoNs"....this is why.
Florida actually paid Rosewood survivors reparations.
Sad part is that it’s hundreds of stories like this that happened in the US , Savages Smh
I actually worked with a lady who grandma was there
I'm also wondering what happened to the woman who lied about who attacked her
She went to hell
Nothing
This is a disgrace wtf I never knew this just like tulsa was never taught this in school there is no reason for this b.s. people have a community they build it up they are united
They are contributing to the economy then wtf is the problem... These people need reparations asap I cant believe that they were allowed to kill an burn a community with no accountability for their evil actions...
I was 10 yrs old when John Singleton's "Rosewood" premiered. A heartbreaking 💔 story that gave young Afro American kids in the Burbs nightmares. God bless those survivors & victims. May those demons that committed the massacre rot in the depths of perdition.
Wow this happened in Florida yo these dreams I be having visions it be showing me shit
America has a lot of blood on there hands, and this is the history they wanna keep away… rest in heaven to the beautiful ppl in Rosewood 🙏🏾
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 this got my eyes watering. She has the same nose as me. I know thAts Kin somewhere down the line 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Who is here after Dark History by Bailey Sarian?
It’s such a sad story
Who else here heard of the rosewood massacre through a movie that was made almost starring of Florida Evans from Good times
There's No Statute of Limitations for the Crimes Committed Against Us ⚡
It’s the entitlement for me. The fact that this made them feel like they had the right to wipe out a town. But karma will come if it hasn’t already.
ALWAYS!!!! Have something to protect yourself!!! When they come with it… let them have it.
THAT'S WHEN HE DROPPED THEM !!!👊🏿✊🏿
That lady voice so sweet
my beautiful black people.
Heartbreaking! Being from Florida myself this story makes me sick. Though I knew about before the movie or before UA-cam put it out there like they did. I lived in Perry Florida and I lived in pretty much all of Polk county my families getaway area was Crystal River Brooksville Keaton beach all of the area of the golf I was told about Rosewood long before anybody was talking about it. It made my family sick what happened to those folks I’m just glad The story is out there the country doesn’t learn from their mistakes if the mistakes are kept hidden! these are the type of living folks who deserve reparations. The Long sure now in 2022 there are not very many living anymore. They took their land they burned their homes and they killed their men women and children they damn sure deserve more than reparations!
The fact that she kept saying colored and times had changed no matter how old this video is let's me know everything I need to know. It's an extremely sad tale.
I always thought that our elders now our ancestors should have told us stories like this so we could be aware not fearful because things haven't changed at all then we would know how to handle situations similar to rosewood that have happened and continue to happen in 2023
👑
Florida they even sold black babies and used them to bait alligators.
STR8 FACTS BUT THEY NOT TEACHING THAT IN SCHOOL ........
I would of fell at her feet in tears that she even survived this absolute evil massacre 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏 let alone strong enough to be filmed and speak about it!!!! Where is the fucking reperations for these people? Why was nothing done while most of them was still alive?!?!!
Pay attention to her eyes at 9:13, so much trauma and fear, as if she's still there, in that moment.
Black ppl do our kids a disservice by not telling them the truth. Even in the comment section, ppl from this area or near it, saying they never learned it. Black ppl need to quit being silent
Trust! This is not the only black town that were taken out like this.
Their family needs to get the land given back to them.
Wow.
This is why we need to stay on the reparations topic.
Heartbreaking 💔 so glad survivors black and white were able to tell this story. Hate to say this but if a company has more representation of one race I know it’s not a good fit not saying other races aren’t unkind but I’ve witnessed too much on a job to know either start recording or go elsewhere where I’m celebrated.
My mom married a Filipino. Being black around them. I learned recently they deemed me a sexual pedator and incestuous while I was a kid. Now I have feds assigned to me because of them. My parents are divorced now I'm adult but feds law enforcement has disrupted 5 jobs.
Your mom was pathetic
God bless this woman
God bless all the victims
I SO PROUD OF YOU ALL!!!❤❤❤❤
This documentary was made 40 years ago
Damn shame
I watched the movie Rosewood at 100 times literally. The part where she said her granddad dug her own grave with one arm was actually in the movie 😢
Born black in this white mans world
Amen
This is not their world... Their forefathers before them have killed to get to power!
Why do you put yourself down like that? The world and your life is what you make of it.
You are made in God’s image. This is YOUR world. They’re only running it because the Bible said that Satan runs this world. They are Satan’s seed. Please stop dating and sleeping with them.
