The Rosewood Heritage Foundation
In 1995, a group of family members of the homesteaders of Rosewood, Florida,
decided to establish "The Rosewood Heritage Foundation"
to provide a unique approach to educating against prejudice, racism,
and stereotyping in our pluralistic society.
The mission of The Rosewood Heritage Foundation is:
to provide information and services which will assist in shaping the future,
to promote an understanding of diversity and encourage the practice of democratic
and moral values, and to conduct research of the Rosewood Massacre
and the history of race relations in Florida, through educational activites and materials.
