Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our aim is to fund raise, purchase, repair, and establish
a historical museum of the John Wright house in Rosewood, Florida that will be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Phase two: We will need to develop the property as a retreat for spiritual and educational programs that will enhance the understanding of cultures in Florida and worldwide.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We will establish online funding sources such as GoFundMe, a donations link on our website. Bus tour profits, exhibit show profits, fund raising programs at churches. Funds from the sell of our book, The Rosewood Massacre at a Glance. The sell of dinners to the public. Asking and seeking fundraising learning activities.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our capabilities for reaching our goals of $500,000 for the purchase of the John Wright House will require a miracle and a few years of strategies and labor.
Family and friends are burden with bills; leaving little to support our project. we are seeking help from public and private donors. We are also seeking leadership in a direction we have not ventured into before. We are depending on our youth with the guidance and education of people who are familiar with developing a museum and retreat on woodlands.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We are well established with recognized bus tours since 1994; the traveling Rosewood Exhibit since 1999 with a grant from the Florida Humanities Council; we are involved in national organizations such as the United Nations Education Scientific Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) Transatlantic Slave Trade (TST) allowing us to tell other counties about the Rosewood Massacre of 1923. Our best global advertising has been the 1997, Rosewood Movie by Warner brothers. Several books Like Judgement Day by Michael D'Orso, have been published to give the truth about this tragedy.
What is unique is the families of the Rosewood Massacre received restitution from the State of Florida in a claims bill in 1994. They are the only African American group to receive funds from the State of Florida for not protecting it's citizens in 1923.
What is next is to preserve the John Wright House in Rosewood, Florida. It was the only house that was not burn because it was own by John Wright, a white man who help hide women and children in his house and on his property.
