LIKE JUDGMENT DAY, The Ruin and Redemption of a Town Called Rosewood

by Michael D'Orso

About this book

Like Judgment Day is the true story of the ruin and redemption of a town called Rosewood, where, on New Year's Day, 1923, a white mob descended, burning houses, killing uncounted numbers of black men and women and driving the rest of the inhabitants away forever. For over seventy years the events in Rosewood remained buried, the truth unacknowledged. This book - which contains the complete text of Like Judgment Day as well as commentary and illustrations from the making of the Warner Bros. film by John Singleton - reveals the real story of the ruined lives, the shattered dreams, the haunting aftermath...and the ultimate hope and resilience of Rosewood's survivors.
