    Closing Thoughts

    ANTHONY: Mose Norman and July Perry were not radicals. They were successful, hardworking men who believed in the promise of America enough to try to vote.

    Their story, and the story of Ocoee, shows the extreme lengths some would go to prevent Black political and economic power.

    In our next episode, we’ll continue this powerful series with another Black town that fought for survival against overwhelming odds.

    Thank you for listening with courage. Say the names: Mose Norman. July Perry. Remember Ocoee.

    I’m Anthony Smith. This is *Forever Black History*.

    Episode 10 - Rise & Fall: Rosewood, Florida – From Prosperity to Ashes
    2026/05/04
    Rise & Fall – Rosewood, Florida: A Town That Dared to Thrive**

    In the early 1900s, Rosewood, Florida was a quiet, self-sufficient Black town where families like the Carrier, Goins, and McClendon built homes, raised children, and created stability in the heart of Jim Crow Florida.

    Sarah Carrier, a respected matriarch and truth-teller, ran a boarding house and stood boldly for what she saw. Her son Sylvester Carrier was a skilled protector of the community. John Wright, the Black store owner, served as a bridge between Rosewood and the nearby white town of Sumner.

    Then, in January 1923, a false accusation triggered one of the most horrific racial massacres in American history. Over several days, a white mob burned nearly every Black home to the ground, killed residents in cold blood, and destroyed the entire town. Sarah Carrier was murdered on her doorstep while shielding children. Survivors fled into the swamps as Rosewood was erased from existence.

    This powerful episode explores the rise of a proud Black community, the lives of its key figures, the terror of the massacre, and the decades-long fight for truth and justice that followed.

    A must-listen chapter of *Forever Black History*.

  • Episode 9 - Rise & Fall: The Fall of Seneca Village Pt. 2

    Episode 9 - Rise & Fall: The Fall of Seneca Village Pt. 2
    2026/04/30
    Rise & Fall – Part 2: Seneca Village – Buried Under Central Park
    In Part 1, we uncovered how free Black New Yorkers built Seneca Village starting in 1825. Visionary founders like Andrew Williams, a 25-year-old shoeshiner who bought the first three lots, and Epiphany Davis, a store clerk who purchased twelve lots, laid the foundation. Together with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and other determined families, they created homes, three churches, a school, and a thriving community where Black men could even vote through property ownership.
    Now in Part 2, we witness the heartbreaking fall. In 1857, the city of New York used eminent domain to seize the land for the creation of Central Park. Homes and churches were demolished, residents were displaced, and the entire Black village was literally buried beneath what is now Central Park.
    For over 130 years, Seneca Village was erased from memory — another example of Black prosperity being deliberately destroyed.
    This episode reveals why Seneca Village was targeted and how its story was finally brought back to light.
    A powerful continuation of the Rise & Fall series on Forever Black History.
