Guess the City 61: Ghost Town Edition 5

[Zoning Goddess]

In 1923, whites, angered by a white woman's allegations of assault by an African American man, and propelled by the KKK, burned this town and murdered at least 8, and probably many more, of this town's residents. Later, a grand jury found no reason to implicate anyone in the attacks.

P.S.

A 1997 film chronicled this event.

Rosewood, Florida.

Yep. I thought of this one because the film was made nearby, and I drove by many times during filming. I have never been to the site of the real Rosewood, though.
