Description

In 1923, an all-white mob burned down the small mill town of Rosewood, Fla., killing at least six people and driving out black residents.

Robert Samuels reports on a conversation around the complicated legacy and effects of those reparations. Read more:How a scholarship helped — and didn't help — descendants of victims of the Rosewood racial massacre.Photos of the Rosewood descendants that keep a once-forgotten history alive. Subscribe to The Washington Post: https://postreports.com/offer
