Orlando Sentinel After returning to Gainesville, she was the first black registered nurse hired to work at Sunland Training Center, an institution for the severely physically and mentally disabled. Jenkins moved to Orlando in the 1960s, after the death of her second husband, her daughter said, and went to work for Sun-land Hospital here, supervising other black workers.

The town was never rebuilt.
"My mother remembered a lot about Rosewood," Dotson said. "There were large homes with lace curtains, and she played in her grandfather's parlor, which had a grand piano." Jenkins' grandfather owned and operated a large turpentine operation in Rosewood. Jenkins, who later became a public health nurse, took her memories and her Rosewood legacy with her and never forgot the town of her birth, her daughter said. "She always said the Rosewood story is not about a massacre; it is about a large, successful black community with college-educated people." As a young woman, Jenkins helped start the Hanco*ck County Clinic in Sparta, which still stands today. By SANDRA MATHERS SENTINEL STAFF WRITER Eva Ernestine Jenkins remembered the whispering, frightened people arriving at her aunt's Gainesville home clad only in their night clothes Only later did the 13-year-old girl learn that her aunt's "visitors" had survived the massacre in her hometown of Rosewood in North Florida that New Year's Day in 1923 by jumping on an unscheduled train to escape the white mob that destroyed the mostly black town.
Jenkins, formerly of Orlando, was the oldest survivor of that once-affluent black community until her death Feb. 13 in California. She was 95. "Her mother died in childbirth," said Jenkins' daughter, Alexis Dotson of Upland, Calif. "At 6, she went to live with her aunt in Gainesville." Jenkins never returned to Rosewood.

Eldridge Williams, 87, trained many of those pilots. The Army drafted him before the war and picked him to be an aviation cadet based on his high test scores.
But that was before the Army was accepting black cadets. When he showed up for a flight physical, they turned him away. Williams said they made up a mysterious ailment as an excuse. "They didn't know what I was," he said. "The commandant said, 'You're rejected because you have cupping of the optic disc' No one had ever heard of the term."

You always knew you had to be better than your white peers." The men were part of a U.S. Army Air Corps experiment at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, testing whether black men had the capability and intelligence to fly airplanes. The result was a group of pilots who received presidential citations and hundreds of air medals and Distinguished Flying Crosses during World War II.

The Tuskegee Airmen were breaking racial barriers during World War II as the first black fighter pilots in the U.S. military, racking up impressive war records, but also setting in motion historical precedents.
