Being on my journey as a Christian: I’m called to be Awake: Matthew 26:40 -but reality is being Black meant staying Woke to avoid being lynched in a #SundownTown -Sundown mentality & institutional racism in healthcare, education alive & killing even here in UK, So I’m staying #Awake & #Woke.
Give #TimmyTuberville his own country. A small one.
#NatC already has base camps, called a #sundowntown.
Slaughter & misuse of people who insist on retaining their own practices, with their own basis, is a historical condition, and a continuous through-line for the the people who made the blues. The trick of the blues is coding all that in a line like "make me a pallet on your floor." #SundownTown 3/3
#6 Rosewood Massacre began #tdih 1923.
White supremacist destruction of a Black town in Florida and the murder of many of its residents. #Terrorism #SundownTown 💔

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1923, the Arkansas #CatcherRaceRiot took place. The unexplained death of a white woman was pretext for a #pogrom in which three were killed and the entire #AfricanAmerican population was expelled, their cemeteries exhumed & burnt, creating a #SundownTown.
Wow, Winthrop. Let's just take a look at the demographics
"The racial makeup of the town was 94.44% White, 1.68% Black, 1.15% Asian, 0.16% Native American, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 1.36% from other races, and 1.16% of two or more races."
Ah, ok, that checks out #SundownTown
any town with more #golf carts than cars is a #sundowntown
"Sundown Towns" historically enforced racial segregation, often denying people of color the right to be present after dark in certain areas.

There's an increase for this information, shared it on TT, needed to share it here. Please get this around. American truck drivers are concerned for their safety, they should be around sundown towns, they exist still.

My father forced my #DyingMom to move from our #FactoryTown that was #Diverse to a #SundownTown where I went to school where we had a #PlantationOwner as a #Mascot and were called the #Rebels I was an #Incel there, but as a choice. I can attest that #Fulton and #Sharp #Counties had no shade
The racists will march down Pacific Blvd in Huntington Park?
A city that was a #sundowntown well into the 1970's?
Where Blacks and Latinos couldn't live or work?
I’m from about 50 miles away from Des Moines on the Illinois side. Everyone used to have #Union jobs where I am from, yet they swallowed #Reagan #HookLineAndSinker it seems, so as to #Maintain the #SundownTown Where I am from, nearly everyone, also, has a #Mexican last name. #MakeItMakeSense

5. Social media will be buzzing about this #sundowntown state!!! #oregon
I lived in downtown Seattle for 10 years. Not once was I afraid to walk around at sunset, with or without my young son. I now live in a red county in WA state, which has a tri-city population of ~50K, if that. I also have a CCP because being Black means that I have a target on my back. #sundowntown
Truth About the Past Americans want to know their past. “The Civil War” set records at PBS. “Roots” changed our culture. Historical movies from “Birth of a Nation” through “Dances With Wolves” to “Twelve Years a Slave” draw millions. Meanwhile, our history textbooks mystify the past and bore everyone, while historical markers and monuments mostly tell only the stories that make their communities and their white leadership look good. Race Relations Our past cannot be taught “plain,” then leavened with Black History in February and maybe Native Americans in November. Properly conceived, U.S. history is totally interracial. Therefore, teachers and school systems must teach topics like slavery and mascot issues, even if their students are mostly white. Sundown Towns In 1999, Loewen started to research sundown towns, places that for decades were (some still are) all white, on purpose. He expected to find maybe ten such towns in Illinois, his home state, and fifty across the country. He had no idea. He found about 506 towns in Illinois alone, 2/3 of all the towns in the state. Similar proportions in Oregon, Indiana, and other Northern states also went sundown, mostly between 1890 and 1940. “Standardized” Testing Teaching at Tougaloo College, 1968-75, made Loewen aware that “standardized” tests have unfair impact on racial minorities. Tougaloo produced students with fine minds and good skills who subsequently performed well in difficult graduate programs, yet scored below the national median on the SAT and ACT. Subsequent research revealed that these tests also disadvantage women, nonaffluent, and rural students. Gender Relations In 1975, Loewen got divorced. At that time, Vermont was even more backward on men’s rights and roles in divorce than Mississippi. Having less societal and legal power than his then spouse, Loewen wound up with visitation. The literature convinced him that anthropologists saw that gender meant complementary areas of relative benefit for ma…

Honestly looks like a great educational site in general for historical, systemic racism and safety. Thank you to @creoletee.bsky.social for providing it.

Stay safe while traveling.
I was right: Cuba, Missouri is a #SundownTown
They were certainly staring at us yesterday.
What radicalized me? I'm a Black Hispanic queer woman living in a #sundowntown in central Indiana. I can't leave my house unarmed.
Oklahoma, it's a sundown state.
