Rosewood Burning

Florida, 1923. A match flares in darkness, then a church bell tolls twice. A white woman’s scream and a sheriff’s warrant set arson and rifles in motion. By dawn the smoldering streets show only scorched shutters, bloodied shoes, and the hush of wind through splintered porches. Singleton reconfigures a forgotten slaughter with the slow, sickening precision of a blues ballad.
