Racial Segregation in ‘Sundown Towns’

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Racial Segregation in ‘Sundown Towns’
Published: August 26, 2018 by VPR Producer

We’ve all heard stories of segregated America circa the 1950’s, but historian and author James W. Loewen says not all of those racist institutions have been completely eliminated, even now. Loewen explains ‘sundown towns,’ towns where minorities were not welcomed after sundown, and he says some of them are still unofficially ‘sundown’ due to their lasting reputations.
