DESCRIPTION:May 10th,  Friday 7 p.m. Film & Discussion: Rosewood. Rosewood is an 
 unforgettable film directed by John Singleton, who died too young at 51 on 
 April 29th.  Singleton was a trailblazer, breaking down barriers as a young 
 filmmaker. He was the first African American nominated for an Academy Award 
 as Best Director in 1991 for Boyz n the Hood. (And to this day, no Black 
 director has won Best Director). He was an inspiration to young filmmakers 
 and was loved by many who saw themselves in his films.  \n\nSet in the 
 small, mostly Black town of Rosewood, Florida, this 1997 film tells the 
 true story of the Rosewood Massacre when people in this Black town were 
 attacked by white mobs in 1923. Black people stood up against these 
 attackers, but the town was burned to the ground and its residents were 
 permanently driven out.  The story itself was buried for over 60 years.
