Rosewood is a movie based on a true story directed by John Singleton. The movie tells a story of a horrific lynch attack on African American community in Rosewood, Florida 1923. This movie is very drastic and violent but it is very powerful. It shows bunch of racist killing innocent Black for something they didn’t do. It started when white women made up a stupid lie that black men raped her. That is how war started.
A small town in Florida where mostly black people lived was burnt to the ground; people got killed in extremely cruel way. The one that didn’t got killed got so frightened and traumatize that they were scared to talked, and nobody new about it until 1980’s.
This movie is not easy to watch I barely made it to the end, because it shows extremely harsh times in American history. It is unbelievable how people can be cruel and do something like that to another person. This movie and similar to this one should be showed to people in high school, so they clearly realize what really happened. I believe that still a lot of Americans doesn’t know their real history.
