Rosewood, Fla.: A Massacre That Won't Be Forgotten
Rosewood established in 1870, was the site of what could be considered one of the worst race riots in U.S. history. By 1915 it was a small, predominantly black town -- with a population of just slightly more than 300. On New Year's Day in 1923, a young white woman claimed that a black man sexually assaulted her; Rosewood was destroyed by a band of white men searching for the alleged suspect. The number of those killed is still unknown.

February - American Heart Health Month
Did you know that heart disease is the #l killer of women? The facts are clear. More women die of heart disease than the next three causes of death. Unfortunately, the killer isn't as easy to see. Heart disease is often silent, hidden and misunderstood. How much do you know about your heart's health? In honor of Heart Health Month we are asking all members to wear something red on next Sunday, February 12, 2012. Information and fact sheets will be available in the vestibule after service next week about heart health.

Greenwood, Oklahoma: The Black Wall Street
In the early 1900s, African Americans settled in Oklahoma, seeking employment and other opportunities in the rich oil fields. Greenwood, part of Tulsa, became home to thriving black businesses -- decades later earning it the moniker "Black Wall Street." But in May 1921, Greenwood faced escalating racial unrest after a young white woman accused a black man of rape. The man wasn't charged, but that didn't stop a white mob from burning down Greenwood, the site of the worst race riot in U.S. history.
