1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Rosewood Study Act . 2. Findings Congress finds as follows: (1) The town of Rosewood was originally surveyed in 1847 in Levy County, Florida, and quickly became a majority minority community. (2) On January 1, 1923, a young married White woman from a neighboring town falsely accused an African-American man of assault. (3) This accusation started a riot and the majority of Rosewood was burned to the ground. (4) This riot led to an unjust massacre and death toll that is still unknown. (5) Survivors were forced to flee to the woods and ultimately resettle around the State of Florida. (6) The town of Rosewood never recovered from this event. (7) The Governor of Florida was notified of the events, but did not intervene. (8) A small attempt was eventually made to indict locals by a grand jury, but this was unsuccessful. (9) This tragedy went unnoticed by those who were not immediately affected for almost 60 years, until 1982 when a reporter for the Saint Petersburg Times began to investigate the massacre. (10) In 1993, the State of Florida formally investigated the event and eventually passed a law issuing compensation for the losses to the victims and creating a scholarship fund. (11) Violence and prejudice have no place in our society. (12) Our society cannot be complacent in senseless acts of violence. (13) In order to learn from history, our society must make sure to remember it. 3. Definitions In this Act: (1) Secretary The term Secretary means the Secretary of the Interior.
