What are Sundown Towns?
A sundown or sunset town was a city, town or neighbourhood in the US that excluded non-whites after dark.

As a southerner, I had never heard of Sundown Towns until, when I was growing up in the 60s, my neighbors from Maumee, Ohio introduced me to the concept. I told them I couldn't understand why you would force the people work for you to leave town. Wouldn't you want them nearby?
