Scholarship, loans proposed for Ocoee Massacre descendants Daralene Jones Student scholarships for college and loans for Black-owned businesses are part of a plan to move forward with a proposal for a form of reparations for descendants of the Ocoee Massacre victims. A similar plan failed to get any support last year during the state legislative session. In fact, the sponsor, Sen. Randolph Bracy of Ocoee, was forced to take reparations out of a bill that was approved, and now mandates that the details of the Nov. 2, 1920 massacre be taught in schools across the state. Bracy said this deal he’s negotiating would allow bypassing the traditional legislative process of sending the bill through committees and both legislative chambers for approval. Instead, it would be a recurring line item in the budget, tacking it onto the Black Business Loan and Rosewood Scholarship programs already in place.
