Rosewood survivors receive compensation
The state ends a 1994 plan to compensate Rosewood survivors and descendants for a racist attack that destroyed the community in January 1923. Payments of 60 to 70 claimants totaling up to 5,000 dollars each are due in the next week or two, with a book, a memo rial, and a film deal in progress.
