<p>Alachua County's African American ancestry contributed significantly to the area's history. Onceenslaved pioneers Richard and Juliann Sams settled in Archer as early as 1839. They were former slaves of James M. Parchman, who journeyed through the wilderness from Parchman, Mississippi. They and others shaped the county's history through inventions, education, and work ethics based on spirituality. This book shows people working together, from the early1800s rural farm life, when racial violence was routine, until African Americans broke the chains of injustice and started organizing and controlling civic affairs.</p>

The Real Rosewood is a historical account of my family's involvement in this 1923 Rosewood, Florida massacre that left people dead, dying and escaping to freedom. My Aunt Mahulda Gussie Brown Carrier was the schoolteacher there from 1915 to 1923. She escaped and I'm telling her story.
