The Rosewood Massacre investigates the 1923 massacre that
devastated the predominantly African American community of
Rosewood, Florida. The town was burned to the ground by neighboring
whites, and its citizens fled for their lives. None of the
perpetrators were convicted. Very little documentation of the event
and the ensuing court hearings survives today. Edward
Gonzalez-Tennant uses archaeology to uncover important elements of
the forgotten history of Rosewood. He draws on cutting-edge GIS
mapping, geospatial technology, census data, artifacts from
excavations at the site, and archaeological theory to explore the
local circumstances and broader sociopolitical power structures
that led to the massacre. He shows how the event was a microcosm of
the oppression and terror suffered by people of African heritage in
the United States, and he connects these historic forms of racial
violence to present-day social and racial inequality.
