Historians Theresa Brown Robinson and her sister Mahulda Gussie Brown Carrier are the real donors to this project. They unselfishly passed on information to preserve Rosewood’s history. Robinson strongly encouraged her daughter, Jenkins, to research Rosewood and report in details her sister’s pain and misfortune. “You must show Mahulda’s place in Rosewood’s history,” she urged. On May 4, 2004, Governor Jeb Bush dedicated Rosewood’s historical marker that reads in part, “Residents supported a school taught by Mahulda Gussie Brown Carrier”. The Real Rosewood supporters pledge 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.
Passionate Quote From Jenkins Mother Theresa Brown Robinson:
“You must show Sister’s place (Mahulda Gussie Brown Carrier) in Rosewood’s history!”
