Rosewood

Post here if you find interesting or valuable information about the history of Rosewood.  It would be helpful to know for example what parts of the film were most accurate and which ones were created so that the drama would be more exciting!

>did the white woman accuse a black man of raping her?
>did citizens get a train to help women and children escape?
>were the lynching mobs ever punished?
>were there testimonies written that might be available

I would be most interested in your excellent research skills on this.  Also I would like to know if you thought the film was a valuable addition to our course and our discussion of heroism.
