Rosewood Massacre

As I was reading this article, I realized how eerily similar it was to Tom Robinson's case in To Kill A Mockingbird. I know that this was supposed to be completed before we read the story, but reading it now makes me realize how much of a deal it was if a black man was involved with the treatment of a white women. It is just very sad to see that other people were killed due to the hatred toward the black man. I am very glad that times are different now.
