Rosewood at Glance                                           

Theresa Brown and Mahulda Brown

Rosewood’s Sisters and Historians, Theresa Brown Robinson and Mahulda Gussie Brown Carrier, are the real benefactors to the Brown Family Rosewood Legacy Research. The sisters unselfishly passed Rosewood  information to daughter/niece Lizzie Robinson Brown Jenkins and directed her to research, document and preserve Rosewood’s history. Brown Robinson strongly encouraged her daughter to research Rosewood’s history in remembrance of the incensed suffrage her sister endured. “You must show Mahulda’s place in Rosewood’s history,” Theresa Brown Robinson urged daughter, Lizzie Robinson Brown Jenkins.

May 4, 2004, Governor Jeb Bush traveled to Rosewood to dedicate Rosewood’s historical marker that reads in part, “Residents supported a school taught by Mahulda Gussie Brown Carrier”. Jenkins co-wrote the historic marker’s script making certain the school teacher’s name was scripted in the text, which was approved in writing by Jenkins before printing. The Real Rosewood Foundation, Inc. and the Florida State History co-sponsored the Rosewood Historic Marker.

Friends of Rosewood supporters pledged to “Preserve Rosewood’s History” through education, research, resource, not-for-profit corporations, schools, streets, stamps, highways, storytelling, newsletters, historic marker, revisits, exhibits, museum, grant writing, documentary, movie, plays, video, media, websites, books, poetry, songs, bus tours, family reunions, banquets, festivals, justice center, and peace and healing ceremony.
