Event Title
Florida Pride and Shame
Description
UCF undergraduate student Amanda Polk offers a personal narrative of growing up in Cedar Key, Florida, near Rosewood.
"I have always felt that in order to be complete in my resolve to up lift and encourage resilience in others, I must be honest about my own roots in eliminationism. I not only have ancestors that proudly served in the Confederate army, but my family also lived in very close proximity to Rosewood during the time of the massacre in 1923. If they did not participate in this atrocity, they certainly knew people who did."
