The latest case of white rage in Florida

A group of volunteers meet with Marvin Dunn at his property in Rosewood, Florida, where he planned to build a "peace house" 100 years after a racially motivated massacre in the town. Photo by Marvin Dunn

...Dunn tells New Times he and two men were discussing clearing his five acres when a neighbor approached in a pickup truck and asked what they were doing and why Dunn's car was parked on the neighbor's side of the road.

Dunn says that after he explained that the thoroughfare is a county road and the vehicle was legally parked, the neighbor became incensed.

"He went into a rage. Started screaming at us and calling us 'niggers,'" Dunn recounts. "Then he guns his truck at us at full speed and makes this attempt to hit us."


Dunn emphasizes that the white community in Rosewood has never given him any trouble since he came into possession of the property in 2008, and this is the first and only racist outburst he has experienced in the area.
