I commend you sir, there are so many sites that should not be forgotten , people need to know that black people had wealth , had property, lived upstanding lives, pillars of the their community. Our future generations need to know their worth! Thank you for all you have done! God bless you! ❤️💯🌹
I want to discover more. I'm convinced our government won't do anything moral in my lifetime, and equally convinced there are many untold stories of murder and plunder against us.
Man I felt so saddened by this story,watching the movie didn’t do justice,but listening to you sir I felt like I was there in ROSEWOOD I just want to say thank you for your unbelievable work,the history you teaching and the dedication one love brothers.
I am also a decendant of Rosewood..even went to santa fe college on a Rosewood scholarship. Everytime i deliver to Cedar key, i pass by Rosewood and i feel extremely sad, and angry knowing how hard life is, and knowing some of that beautiful land with natural florida palms 🌴 should've been passed down to me. I appreciate the scholarship, but i'd much rather a 5 acre parcel.
So this is what Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to keep us from knowing in florida.... wow. I'm so glad I've decided to start educating myself on our people.
And the one thing no government personality can erase is my knowledge even if they erase my body.I pass this on to my children to keep this history alive and foregoing.🙏🏼 THANK 🙏🏼YOU🙏🏼.
There were several mass graves at Rosewood. I grew up in a town near by. I grew up with Jason and Shannon McElvein. Their grandfather Mr McElvein was 17 years old and participated in the massacre. He bragged until the day he died about trying to impress a friend after helping put 15-20 bodies in a pit next to state road 24. The friend replied that that was nothing because he had helped put at least 30 in a pit not far away. He spoke about how they went back some time in the 1950's and dug up the graves and scattered the bones in the woods between Gulf Hammock and Otter Creek. They did this because there were already numerous remains there from the people that froze to death hiding in the woods. He laughed about how as late as the early 70s they would find remains in the woods while hunting. Their dogs would sometimes bring human bones from the woods. Mr McElvein even testified about this in front of State Congress in Tallahassee. As a child, I've heard him speak of it personally. My cousin's and I were friends with Jason and Shannon. They're grandfather hated that until the day he died. I don't think I've ever felt so much hate come from a person's stare. You can read his testimony online now. It's public record. What's not public record is the reason the bodies were moved. Word came from Tallahassee that people were pushing for answers about what happened and they knew about the mass graves. So, essentially, a few State officials with connections to what happened covered their tracks. As it happened and afterwards, My family and many others fed and took care packages to the victims. After the train carried the victims from Rosewood, it stopped in Chiefland at the old train depot. Blacks and whites carried blankets, food, and medicine to the people on the train. Many people wept with them because they were friends and knew each other since before the massacre. Only the women and Children were allowed to leave on the train. The bodies were those of the men that were not allowed to leave and there were at least 150 of them and as many as 300. The first man that was lynched was not Aaron Carrier. He survived the massacre and was the husband of Mis Muhullda "Gussie" Carrier. They moved back to Gainesville and had to change their identity several times. Miss Gussie used to dress as a man, and tutor white students in the basement of the University of Florida. She was the second black female principal in Florida's History. Many people including some in her family believe that she committed suicide, but her and her husband Aaron survived and escaped the massacre. Sam Carter was the first man to be lynched. He was lynched in between Rosewood and Bronson. Also, the clan was very much involved. There was a huge clan rally in Gainesville the night before. The theme was, "Protecting white women from black savages.". This helped to fuel the high turnout of people from outside the community. Old man Cotton Fletcher who was a high ranking clansman from Gainesville and who is still highly regarded by some in the area was said to be the main organizers. He is considered one of the most prolific lynch mob organizers in the south.
@Aireliouse Jones. What an amazing recount of history as it pertains to Rosewood. Please keep sharing your story especially the murderer involved in the massacre. 🤎Amazingly no one brought to justice while secrets linger until the end….The shame of Amerikkka/America is trying to be buried through politics as we speak.
It’s wonderful having accurate knowledge of our true history told by a courageous Black man who took the time to learn the truth about what really happened and then share the story to the world. My heart goes out to all my people who received such hatred, unwarranted abuse, violence and persecution that were motivated by false accusations and discrimination.
Thank you so much we appreciate you for sharing. We made this podcast to share the truth of what really happened in Rosewood. We are glad you enjoyed it.
If I had money I would , it makes me angry how my people have done. If anyone has money they should invest in things like this. When you love your own people , your heart aches for what the have had to endure and still we are hated today for no reason. It's just plain sad! Plain wrong and the US should not be allowed to forget it! 💯
.. make sure your family, neighbors and circle of council never forgets, they seek to eradicate such history ..smh.. all the while doing our people the worse 😑 we must understand it is still a fight.. we must understand that we need each other to overcome our fight progressively and in order to have each other, we must respect each other 💜
Dr. Marvin Dunn here is a great historian and a walking encyclopedia. Just a wealth of knowledge and I could listen to him all day. Thank you for presenting the account of this event in such great detail. Truly an incredible video. Thank you for sharing.
We WILL NOT get reparations. Seeing we ARE the HEBREWS of DEUTERONOMY 28......and IF you've read this it TELLS US THAT NO MAN WILL BUY US......MEANING WE WILL NOT GET A THING. REASON BEING......GOD WILL AVENGE AND TAKE CARE OF US.....LASTLY, the USA 🇺🇸 CAN NOT AFFORD US.
Thank you we made this podcast so the truth about Rosewood will be told. Share this video with all of your friends and family. Give them the rich true history of the Rosewood massacre.
Thank you for sharing. We have make a video on the property Dr. Marvin Dunn owns. Check the episode its called Rosewood The First Look At Rosewood Old Railroad Track
Bravo brothers 👏🏽 been inspiring since Black Miami in the 20th century. I’m 3 years late but this video was phenomenal Godfather, your decorum is unmatched and your knowledge and stories are the real deal! This production was exceptionally captivating, thank you for all you do… please keep this going ! Love Mimi and The Slocum family… So excited about the Rosewood Tour… 💛
What a great discussion and learning experience. In 1996 I was working at the new Sanford mall. At that time the movie Rosewood was in production not far away. I met John Voit and Michael Rooker. Our info desk lady and her two children were in the movie as well. She is in the opining seen hanging laundry on a line. her kids were extras who were featured throughout the movie. WOW!
Thank you Derrick. Yes, this generation can't care much because of who is raising them; many Big Mamas and Madeas are 25 to 37 years old. Yet, we of African descent must continue to educate. It is important to know your history and ensure we do not repeat it. ~TN
I went to Rosewood back in 2008 I think, I had seen the movie, he is right no one would talk to me especially with me driving a Taho with New York plates and I’m black, I only saw 1 other black man and he was working for UPS, I stopped at a store there and this old white lady finally was nice enough to talk to me, I was able to see Mr. Wright’s house which was owned by a Japanese woman who was a waitress or she owned a restaurant or something, man even the birds looks weird they were all in a circle and black it was a hell of an experience
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Yes, it can be tough getting information about the massacre in Rosewood. That's why you can read the book The History Of Florida Through Black Eyes from Dr. Marvin Dunn.
My first time hearing about Rosewood, was the movie , with Ving rhames Don cheadle, Esther rolle and Jon voight (Angelina Jolie 's famous actor father) and it's still horrified me even back then as a child watching it.. the more movies like that really showed America's dark history to mean early age without the movie directed by John Singleton I would have never been hipped on to what this country was about at a early age then of course the next real History lesson would be black wallstreet but much later and not a movie form😢.
Micah 2:2 “And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.”
I graduated High School 25 yrs ago, borne & raised in Louisiana, & I Don't have children, so I'm not sure what Public High Schools are teaching these days on History, American History, Black History, etc. I remember learning about Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Minister Malcolm X, Other Civil Rights Leaders & All The Good They've Done! Now This Is Just MY Opinion, but I Believe that ALL Schools in EVERY STATE IN AMERICA MUST Include In American History the Horrific Massacres, Atrocities, and "CRIMES Against Humanity" that were done to Black Communities! It wasn't until 2002 that Schools in Oklahoma started teaching on the "Tulsa Oklahoma Race Massacre" (Black Wall Street) & FINALLY In 2020 the Massacre "Officially" became a part of the Oklahoma School Curriculum! We Can't Afford to keep acting like these events never happened! I am a Christian & I believe that God Made Us ALL To Love One Another! I Believe Racism Is TAUGHT & Therefore Compassion, Love, & Empathy can ALSO Be Taught by NOT Forgetting the Past and By Teaching Our Children, At A Suitable Age, about The Rosewood & Tulsa Oklahoma Massacres! We teach our children about the Holocaust & yet we Don't Teach them about the Atrocities that happened in our Own Country to Our Own Citizens! 🙏♥️🤝
Those are the things, they want forgotten. They want to erase everything dealing with those incidents. It should all be in the history books. They're rewriting the story of Rosa Parks.
The Gov.of Florida and many others like him are determined that black children and white children will never learn their shared history and therefore will never spiritually heal.
Hard for me to get with this sins of them Father thing. I never would've turned, if I'd seen what they'd seen. Why would God punish us for something that our ancestors did.
Im 39. 7th gen Floridian. 10 gen deep. I know about rosewood but did not know this much. My grandma would have been 2 or 3 years old. She is from Anna Maria. , Moved to Bartow. I just wanted to say this was wonderful to watch. Florida's history is crazy. Spanish French English Freeman, non freeman, soooooo many indigenous. All at war, but also like... Some of us were always cool with eachother. Also the people from the west coming here to hide. Flagler and the bodies still inside of his "over seas railroad" connecting NY to key west. I love this extra knowledge so much. Thank you.
Good morning my friends my name is Willie Cherry and I live in Cross City FL and I use to go to Rosewood to buy fishing worms and I met the only woman that was left after the Rosewood Massacre and she was a very nice lady and she used to tell me about what happened doing those days of the massacre and I almost cried because as a black man I can understand what we have gone through but God has brought us a long way and there are still to much perfidious in our world by the white population amen
I’m thankful for your research and exposure of the truth about Rosewood history! However, I’d like to bring to mind a incident that happened in the eighties I believe that happened in Philadelphia!!! Which no one has mentioned. When the city blew up 2 cities blocks and killed men,women and children! Let’s not forget!this tr Tragedy
@@MD-DLive She's still alive. I heard her live on Carl Nelson's radio show last year. At least if my nemory serves me correctly, it was her. This may piss you off like it did me, but did you know that somehow a UNIVERSITY came into possession of some of the bones of the deceased??? I think it was the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN).
I found out about Redwood about 30 yrs ago. I’m now 65. I still feel it was shameful for this to have happen. I know these things have happen everywhere. Doesn’t make it right. I have always lived in Rockford Illinois. We went to Georgia once looking for my half brothers family. We stopped at a gas station, there were two water fountains the one on the right said colored only. I asked my dad what does that mean. My dad said shut up and get in the car. We didn’t have these signs in Rockford Illinois. At this time I was 10 yrs old. Thanks for your program. It was nice to here different info.
Some people tell me that as a historian and teacher for 20 years I should have "cold blood" but there are records, interviews, videos, films that make me feel bad. Anxiety, anger, tachycardia, revolt. There are things about our history that you can't simply swallow.
WE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE LAND FOR FREEEE FOR MUSEUMS, FAIR GROUNDS! RESTAURANTS! AND BUILD A MOCK TOWN THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ROSEWOOD! AND A DECENT CEMETARY!!!!
This was a very informative presentation and the significance is that Rosewood highlights the sociopathic and psychopathic nature of Caucasians which has not significantly changed. Hidden Black History needs to be revealed and reviewed as this Author has stated. If their has been no significant healing among the perpetrators then the victims are not allowed to heal either. Rosewood is a tragic story of genocide, property theft and the denial of Humanity. There is an obligation to be spiritually healed as well.
I qualified for the Rosewood scholarship in 2008 ..went on to Santa fe college in Gainesville fl. My great great grandmother was there at the time documented.
Or, do it as a series. A series can be seen as an extinction of the movie i.e. deleted takes, like how Spike Lee's cousin, did the The Best Man Holiday.
My Sister was an officer in the Navy, she brought a home in Orlando Florida and after she sold that house i never wanted to go to Florida again or Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, or Texas. Never ever.....California was okay but I went back home to New York. We have land in N. Carolina but I don't want to go there but my Sister had a house built about 10 years ago.....The movie said over 300 Black People were killed. I would have left too, with all of them evil beings around Wetiko folks
GOD BLESS OUR PEOPLES AROUND THE TOWN OF ROSEWOOD N GOD BLESS RT 24. N THE HISTORY OF OUR BELOVED ANCESTORS. WE CAME A LONG WAY. GOD BLESS THE WORLD. 1🎉❤🎉❤
I LOVE these Dunn Brothers for working so well together! And for being so capable of bringing to the forefront the importance of History! Mostly, though, I love their ability to discuss Rosewood’s existence, then & now, as a FACT, rather than as some hysterical, emotionally-driven time capsule. Many human atrocities have occurred in the USA-concept. Tulsa & Rosewood aren’t even complete fractions of what’s been done to effect Systemic Injustice/Racism. Though, lately, they loom large in the general national imagination for their dramatic details of massacres “at hands unknown.” But without a vantage of History, Confusion and misinterpretation of events and circumstances are still leading people to draw FALSE conclusions-some of which are still having deadly consequences to this day for Nonwhite people, mostly, but for White people to some extent, too. Dr. Dunn is 💯 Correct when he says, “You need to walk the land,” Everything people learn in theory takes on entirely new meaning & context when they do!! GREAT work presenting Truth without hyperbole & in a humane manner all around. There are always complexities in human nature, not limited to “being” (or being lumped into) in some group that makes it easier for the perpetually Stupid to stay stuck there. 🌸🌷🕯🌱🌸 ♥️🤍💙🤎💖💕🖤💛♥️💖🖤
What happened to John Bradley? He owned property there in Rosewood. His family must have been contacted for the interview. I remember hearing his name during the movie. These guys never one time mentioned his name. He had money to purchase land and thry wanted to kill him. but he escaped.on the train with the women and children. He was an.old man so they brought him along to safety. What happened to him.
My family is also descendents my mom family is the Bradley family. My great grand parents James n Helen Bradley was actually the ones who had the land for sale . That's my Great grandaddy was the one they hid at the store. What most don't know is his wife was white . The daughter of the largest slave owner in Florida. When slavery ended Master Bradley gave all his slaves his land to his slaves and went back to Germany. That's why they were doing better than the white there. I was told the real story before there was the watered down book and movie. This was more about jealousy of wealth and land. The rape call was just an excuse. I actually have real pics of them. The story really doesn't stop there. It's more
@@crystalspiritualmessenger8213 when you watch the movie take a different perspective the movie shows but doesn't tell. The train stops in the middle of that black neighborhood that was once the middle of the Bradley plantation. Once of the train your in the middle of a business district of skilled black businesses. People traveled to get that good product from those blacks. Understand whites hadn't done anything for 400 years but for generations blacks had passed down skills within. So the only jobs whites had was the lumber yard and some blacks even worked there.
@@crystalspiritualmessenger8213 alot scattered to Gainesville only to get some of the same problems . When they built what now university of Florida it was built by taken land from blacks the school sits in a old black neighborhood. My Great Granddads brother was shot and killed on his porch because he wouldn't sale his land. So they suffered a repeat of land theft
It is American history. Thank you for this education Sirs. I'm sure a joke could be written about an outstanding PhD stating, "It was time to get my ass outta there." Out of respect, I won't even try.
She could have been a witness to plea his innocence but instead we as blacks say nothing abd turn the other cheek I see where the no snitching code come from 😢
This is precious needed info, Im glad for the interviews and efforts made. Please next time hold the mikes closer it wasnt till the last 10 minutes yoy both spoke loud enough. Who in the hell has mikes 2/3 feet away to sprak into? Also there is history in the comments here... Perhaps a Part 2 documentary will be made off of the findings. Truly thx for your efforts
My grandmother told me bout it she was 4yrs old wen it happened I'm like you was a baby gma.ahe was told bout it later on n life.i cried fr.it was painful for black communities
Hilliard is another backwoods small town... Wow. He moved right back amongst them eh??. I think I would have been a city dweller after experiencing that terrorist attack!!!
The state of Florida set up a fund for the relatives connected to the Rosewood massacre but it was for a limited time. That time for reparations has expired.
My dad and i love florida history. Hes knows so much and is always wanting more. From a black mans eyes/mind. Are there any books you would recommend? Florida is so strange.
We are so glad that you and your family enjoy studying Florida's history. Hopefully you'll watch more of our videos on Florida's history. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Not Just Rosewood,this was being done everywhere.The Blacks, Indian,and the Mexican owned what is the U.S. now. Forget reparation! We want the whole pie
The fact that people still talk about reparations gets on my nerves. NOT BECAUSE we need them BUT The fact that they CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY US.......THE DEBT IS TOO HIGH!!!! THINK ABOUT THE NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK ⏰.......AND THERE'S OUR REPARATIONS.......GOD WILL AVENGE US.

It wasn't until 2002 that Schools in Oklahoma started teaching on the "Tulsa Oklahoma Race Massacre" (Black Wall Street) & FINALLY In 2020 the Massacre "Officially" became a part of the Oklahoma School Curriculum! We Can't Afford to keep acting like these events never happened!
I am a Christian & I believe that God Made Us ALL To Love One Another!
I Believe Racism Is TAUGHT & Therefore Compassion, Love, & Empathy can ALSO Be Taught by NOT Forgetting the Past and By Teaching Our Children, At A Suitable Age, about The Rosewood & Tulsa Oklahoma Massacres! We teach our children about the Holocaust & yet we Don't Teach them about the Atrocities that happened in our Own Country to Our Own Citizens! 🙏♥️🤝
Thank you for sharing we appreciate your support.
Those are the things, they want forgotten. They want to erase everything dealing with those incidents. It should all be in the history books. They're rewriting the story of Rosa Parks.
Interesting point 🤔
The Gov.of Florida and many others like him are determined that black children and white children will never learn their shared history and therefore will never spiritually heal.
Deuteronomy chapter 28 tells it all for our ancestors and the descendants today
Thank you
EXACTLY
Hard for me to get with this sins of them Father thing. I never would've turned, if I'd seen what they'd seen. Why would God punish us for something that our ancestors did.
Im 39. 7th gen Floridian. 10 gen deep. I know about rosewood but did not know this much. My grandma would have been 2 or 3 years old. She is from Anna Maria. , Moved to Bartow. I just wanted to say this was wonderful to watch. Florida's history is crazy. Spanish French English Freeman, non freeman, soooooo many indigenous. All at war, but also like... Some of us were always cool with eachother. Also the people from the west coming here to hide. Flagler and the bodies still inside of his "over seas railroad" connecting NY to key west. I love this extra knowledge so much. Thank you.
We are glad you learned more about the town of Rosewood. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Good morning my friends my name is Willie Cherry and I live in Cross City FL and I use to go to Rosewood to buy fishing worms and I met the only woman that was left after the Rosewood Massacre and she was a very nice lady and she used to tell me about what happened doing those days of the massacre and I almost cried because as a black man I can understand what we have gone through but God has brought us a long way and there are still to much perfidious in our world by the white population amen
Thank you for sharing your story
I’m thankful for your research and exposure of the truth about Rosewood history! However, I’d like to bring to mind a incident that happened in the eighties I believe that happened in Philadelphia!!! Which no one has mentioned. When the city blew up 2 cities blocks and killed men,women and children! Let’s not forget!this tr Tragedy
We perfectly agree all the of these stories need to be passed down to the younger generations so none for forgotten. Thank you
Yes, you're speaking about MOVE! It was in 1985 I believe and Mayor WILSON GOODE was the scapegoat! ( Used Pawn)
@@MD-DLiveWilson Goode personally ordered the deployment of incendiary device.
@@forensicaccountant259 wow, thank you for educating me on that. I remember that incident. Whatever happened to Romana Africa?
@@MD-DLive She's still alive. I heard her live on Carl Nelson's radio show last year. At least if my nemory serves me correctly, it was her.
This may piss you off like it did me, but did you know that somehow a UNIVERSITY came into possession of some of the bones of the deceased??? I think it was the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN).
I found out about Redwood about 30 yrs ago. I’m now 65. I still feel it was shameful for this to have happen. I know these things have happen everywhere. Doesn’t make it right. I have always lived in Rockford Illinois. We went to Georgia once looking for my half brothers family. We stopped at a gas station, there were two water fountains the one on the right said colored only. I asked my dad what does that mean. My dad said shut up and get in the car. We didn’t have these signs in Rockford Illinois. At this time I was 10 yrs old. Thanks for your program. It was nice to here different info.
Thank you for that story. We want the truth about events like this to be known.
Some people tell me that as a historian and teacher for 20 years I should have "cold blood" but there are records, interviews, videos, films that make me feel bad. Anxiety, anger, tachycardia, revolt. There are things about our history that you can't simply swallow.
So true..... thank you.
We need content like this
Thank you that’s why we have this podcast
Amazing information. Never heard about Rosewood until now.
This is a story that's not very well known nationally or even internationally.
Thank You for this Story. You Men got me started. Just got me thinking about all that's happened. An all that is still happening. Peace & Love.💙💙🙂
your welcome and thank you for your comment.
WE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE LAND FOR FREEEE FOR MUSEUMS, FAIR GROUNDS! RESTAURANTS! AND BUILD A MOCK TOWN THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ROSEWOOD! AND A DECENT CEMETARY!!!!
Thank U, sir, for your efforts in preserving our history.😘🥰🤜🤛🫶🥂😔
This was a very informative presentation and the significance is that Rosewood highlights the sociopathic and psychopathic nature of Caucasians which has not significantly changed.
Hidden Black History needs to be revealed and reviewed as this Author has stated.
If their has been no significant healing among the perpetrators then the victims are not allowed to heal either.
Rosewood is a tragic story of genocide, property theft and the denial of Humanity. There is an obligation to be spiritually healed as well.
I love history. And enjoyed your program very much!
Thank you for leaving us a comment.
I admire this man
Thank you for your comment. We enjoyed making this podcast for our viewers .
Outstanding!!!
Glad you like it!
I qualified for the Rosewood scholarship in 2008 ..went on to Santa fe college in Gainesville fl. My great great grandmother was there at the time documented.
Wow. Thank you for sharing.
Hello my friends and the lady name is Ms.Mary and she used to offer us coffee each and everytime we would see her Amen hallelujah praise God Amen
Thanks for sharing and that artwork in the background is amazing!!
Glad you like it! Thank you
Beautiful history. Just discovered your channel. Enjoyed this real history of Rosewood. I can appreciate buying land in Rosewood.
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Not beautiful… but truthful, necessary and poignant.
Thank you for sharing this information
Your welcome. Glad to found our video informative.
Glad you found our video informative.
We must introduce our kids to their history and culture it is our responsibility first and foremost.
So true. That's why we started this podcast
Someone needs to remake that movie in better detail! People want to know! There was too much left out!
Facts
Or, do it as a series. A series can be seen as an extinction of the movie i.e. deleted takes, like how Spike Lee's cousin, did the The Best Man Holiday.
Thanks you for this video
It's my pleasure... Please share with friends and family.
My Sister was an officer in the Navy, she brought a home in Orlando Florida and after she sold that house i never wanted to go to Florida again or Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, or Texas. Never ever.....California was okay but I went back home to New York. We have land in N. Carolina but I don't want to go there but my Sister had a house built about 10 years ago.....The movie said over 300 Black People were killed. I would have left too, with all of them evil beings around Wetiko folks
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
That's what I'm saying, most of the survivors settled again amongst more demons!!!! I don't understand it..
Thank u
Corbin, Kentucky should be looked into as well….
Thank u guys for this. I’m now invested in learning more history on Rosewood. This is my first time hearing this story
Your welcome. This is the reason we make podcast. To inform individuals whom may not know about this history.
I just became a subscriber of your channel while watching this video and I appreciate your honest dialect on the Rosewood massacre and what caused it.
We want to get the facts out about what happened in Rosewood in 1923. Thank you for being a subscriber. It really means a lot to us.
Thank goodness for doctor Dunn
Thank you for listening
GOD BLESS OUR PEOPLES AROUND THE TOWN OF ROSEWOOD N GOD BLESS RT 24. N THE HISTORY OF OUR BELOVED ANCESTORS. WE CAME A LONG WAY. GOD BLESS THE WORLD. 1🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you for your comment
I LOVE these Dunn Brothers for working so well together! And for being so capable of bringing to the forefront the importance of History! Mostly, though, I love their ability to discuss Rosewood’s existence, then & now, as a FACT, rather than as some hysterical, emotionally-driven time capsule.
Many human atrocities have occurred in the USA-concept. Tulsa & Rosewood aren’t even complete fractions of what’s been done to effect Systemic Injustice/Racism. Though, lately, they loom large in the general national imagination for their dramatic details of massacres “at hands unknown.”
But without a vantage of History, Confusion and misinterpretation of events and circumstances are still leading people to draw FALSE conclusions-some of which are still having deadly consequences to this day for Nonwhite people, mostly, but for White people to some extent, too.
Dr. Dunn is 💯 Correct when he says, “You need to walk the land,” Everything people learn in theory takes on entirely new meaning & context when they do!!
GREAT work presenting Truth without hyperbole & in a humane manner all around. There are always complexities in human nature, not limited to “being” (or being lumped into) in some group that makes it easier for the perpetually Stupid to stay stuck there. 🌸🌷🕯🌱🌸
♥️🤍💙🤎💖💕🖤💛♥️💖🖤
We really appreciate those kind words. We want people to know what really happed in Rosewood to preserve the history. Thank you
Niggah shtfu
I agree that some of those places, especially the cemeteries should be designated by boreal spots where people can learn visit in grief.
Thank you
Facts my grandma 👵 came from South Carolina to Florida mom born in st Augustine
What happened to John Bradley? He owned property there in Rosewood. His family must have been contacted for the interview. I remember hearing his name during the movie. These guys never one time mentioned his name. He had money to purchase land and thry wanted to kill him. but he escaped.on the train with the women and children. He was an.old man so they brought him along to safety. What happened to him.
That is why the governor of Florida trying to rewrite history 🤥🤔
Thank you. Our goal in this episode is to tell the truth about what really happened in Rosewood.
FACT
They need more money than they were given
Yes we agree but that’s what the state of Florida set for Rosewood massacre descendents.
I enjoyed this ❤
Thank you
Sound similar to black wall street in Tulsa
Yes these two stories end in tragedy. Thank you for leaving a comment.
My family is also descendents my mom family is the Bradley family. My great grand parents James n Helen Bradley was actually the ones who had the land for sale . That's my Great grandaddy was the one they hid at the store. What most don't know is his wife was white . The daughter of the largest slave owner in Florida. When slavery ended Master Bradley gave all his slaves his land to his slaves and went back to Germany. That's why they were doing better than the white there. I was told the real story before there was the watered down book and movie. This was more about jealousy of wealth and land. The rape call was just an excuse. I actually have real pics of them. The story really doesn't stop there. It's more
Plzzz tell
@@crystalspiritualmessenger8213 when you watch the movie take a different perspective the movie shows but doesn't tell. The train stops in the middle of that black neighborhood that was once the middle of the Bradley plantation. Once of the train your in the middle of a business district of skilled black businesses. People traveled to get that good product from those blacks. Understand whites hadn't done anything for 400 years but for generations blacks had passed down skills within. So the only jobs whites had was the lumber yard and some blacks even worked there.
@@crystalspiritualmessenger8213 alot scattered to Gainesville only to get some of the same problems . When they built what now university of Florida it was built by taken land from blacks the school sits in a old black neighborhood. My Great Granddads brother was shot and killed on his porch because he wouldn't sale his land. So they suffered a repeat of land theft
@Conrad Kelly Damnnn great story!
thank you
Florida is still a racist state I lived there for 35 years as a black woman and it was extremely hard to get a job in that state because of my race
America is Racist , The ENTIRE COUNTRY
It is American history. Thank you for this education Sirs. I'm sure a joke could be written
about an outstanding PhD stating, "It was time to get my ass outta there." Out of respect, I won't even try.
Same envy like black wall street in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1922
She could have been a witness to plea his innocence but instead we as blacks say nothing abd turn the other cheek I see where the no snitching code come from 😢
Wow. This has weakened me. Moved here to florida 6 yeras now and i cant stop searching history of this state to our people.
This is our black history I Florida. Thank you for commenting.
My God Father Marvin Dunn is the greatest ❤️🖤🤍 #ACEAcademy
Hi, hope you are doing well.
Let’s dive deeper into the black masons of the town
Great 👍 job you have a new member..
1966 born, i remember this happening, canadeins songs, of injustice in america
This is precious needed info, Im glad for the interviews and efforts made. Please next time hold the mikes closer it wasnt till the last 10 minutes yoy both spoke loud enough.

Thank you for leaving us a comment. We apologize for the audio. We have fix the audio issues on our other episodes.
I remember this story I saw the movie when it first came out there wasn't a dry eye in the theater
Thank you for sharing
This is amazing. I am from north Florida and my father was alive when this happened but he never talked about it.
Thank you for sharing.
My grandmother told me bout it she was 4yrs old wen it happened I'm like you was a baby gma.ahe was told bout it later on n life.i cried fr.it was painful for black communities
The host is nerve wracking. Please let the man tell his story!
Thank you for sharing
EXACTLY
I am interested in how to educate my son in history. I don’t like calling it black history. This is American history.
We agree it is American history but America’s history includes the individual history of its collective black, white, yellow and red people.
Black American History in America?
Or Black History is American History. There's no difference!
@@gabriellew.4847 I was saying black history is American history.
Oh no brother not to these woke niggah s American a racist word .
I knew a man from the Rosewood incident. His last name was Wilson. He was living in Hilliard Florida
Wow! That's great thank you for sharing.
Hilliard is another backwoods small town... Wow. He moved right back amongst them eh??. I think I would have been a city dweller after experiencing that terrorist attack!!!
How can the black people who owned all the land in Rosewood get reparations???
The state of Florida set up a fund for the relatives connected to the Rosewood massacre but it was for a limited time. That time for reparations has expired.
Defensive to who..it's the truth!!
I read the book by Arnett Doctor.
His mother was a young girl when Rosewood was destroyed.
Where can I purchase some of that artwork in your background?....Amazing!!
As of right now we don't have contact information for the artist.
The African american descendants of rosewood need to get their family land and property back
ABSOLUTELY 💯 AGREE
My dad and i love florida history. Hes knows so much and is always wanting more. From a black mans eyes/mind. Are there any books you would recommend? Florida is so strange.
We are so glad that you and your family enjoy studying Florida's history. Hopefully you'll watch more of our videos on Florida's history. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Not Just Rosewood,this was being done everywhere.The Blacks, Indian,and the Mexican owned what is the U.S. now. Forget reparation! We want the whole pie
The fact that people still talk about reparations gets on my nerves. NOT BECAUSE we need them BUT The fact that they CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY US.......THE DEBT IS TOO HIGH!!!! THINK ABOUT THE NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK ⏰.......AND THERE'S OUR REPARATIONS.......GOD WILL AVENGE US.
God will
Obtw I love the Art in the background, is this Jean Michael Basqiat's work?
Thank you the artist name is Moal.
I live in Levy county....here in Florida about 20 to 25 minutes from Rosewood Fl
Thank you
I saw the movie and some documentaries that where pretty in-depth
Thank you for your interest in the Rosewood Massacre. We believe this massacre should get more attention.
Mr. Goins was my great great uncle.
Wow, that's great. Thank you for sharing
New sub. Excited to be here.🤓
That’s the first thing I noticed the location. Of Rosewood for trade by the water
Thank you
PLEASE LOOK UP "RED SUMMER OF 1919".

The year my gma was born she was 4 yes old.told me biut it I cried and cried.wow my gma died in 09.she was 90yrs old I miss my Nana so much
That’s what they did!!! Take our people’s property! But don’t want it happening to them!
All it took was 1 lie 😥
Yes that's all it took. Thank you
That's all it has ever taken

Isaiah 42:22
“But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.”
The movie showed that the store owner and the two train conductors helped the women and children.
J.W. Wright and the train conductors did help women and children. No boys older than 13 years of age.
How can I purchase some land, sir?
