MIAMI - A 62-year-old man was sentenced to a year in federal prison after attempting to run down Florida International Professor Emeritus, Historian Marvin Dunn and five other Black men at the site of the Rosewood massacre.

David Allen Emanuel appeared solemn and reserved last week as federal Judge Allen Winsor delivered the sentence on six counts of hate crimes for attempting to run over Dunn, his son and four other black men who were surveying Dunn's Rosewood property to build a memorial for the massacre.

The judge's sentence called for 12 months plus one day in federal prison for each of the six charges, which he allowed to run concurrently. The Justice Department had sought a "substantial" prison term of between five and six years.
