      <dc:title>Rosewood Massacre</dc:title>
  
  
  
      <dc:description>Box 32 contains materials from the Rosewood Massacre Collection dating from 1994–1995 and is arranged alphabetically by claimant surname, documenting individual compensation claims and supporting evidence submitted by survivors and their descendants. This box includes files such as Margie Hall Johnson and Doris J. Jones, along with additional claimants represented through claims documentation and legal records.

The folders primarily consist of claims-related documentation, including Rosewood Claims Bill checklists, claims information forms, affidavits, and Rosewood property affidavits detailing property ownership, loss, and familial connections to Rosewood. The files also contain correspondence between claimants and state officials or legal representatives, memoranda regarding claim processing, and administrative communications tied to the compensation program.

Supporting documentation commonly includes vital records such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and driver’s licenses, as well as school records, property records, land descriptions, and maps of Levy County. Additional materials include legal notices, public hearing references, and documentation used to verify identity, lineage, and eligibility for compensation.

For example, a typical folder—such as the Margie Hall Johnson file—includes a claims checklist, survivor affidavit, correspondence with attorneys or state officials, and supporting documents like property affidavits and claims information forms, while the Doris J. Jones file contains identification records, school and marriage documentation, property descriptions, and claims verification materials. Collectively, Box 32 reflects both the administrative processing of claims and the personal and legal documentation required to substantiate eligibility for compensation.</dc:description>
