Rosewood Massacre There have been many wrong doings over time and while many justify the inhumane acts with “It was just the time we lived in back then”, nothing can justify what transpired in a small town in Florida in 1923. Rosewood, Florida was established around 1845. This town was a very small town located in what is now Levy County. This was a quiet town that began to take notice when a railway was built nearby.

The only similarity that appears through this study was that state governments are primarily only concerned with the first step of informing the public.
