According to our favorite oppressed ethnicity and their empty-headed advocates, sundown towns were everywhere prior to 1964 discriminating against blacks at every possible opportunity. Article after article claims hundreds of signs were posted, ordinances passed, all official-like policy enforced by the local constable who escorted the darkies out of town before nightfall. Problem is, it's all anecdotal.
There are no pictures of signs at the city limits, no text of ordinances, no police reports citing the fabled ordinances, nothing. I read several "academic" research articles and each one relies on the shit memory of something they heard from their father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate twice removed who said they saw it with their own eyes and it was so, so real.
Google search says:
Though photographic evidence of "sundown town" signs is rare, historical accounts confirm they existed in thousands of towns across the U.S. to warn non-white people to leave by dusk.
Direct photographic evidence of the most aggressive sundown signs is scarce for several reasons:
While the explicit text of specific sundown town ordinances is rarely available, sundown ordinances were typically local laws, often unwritten, or officially posted signs that prohibited non-White people, particularly African Americans, from being in the town after dark.
Starting to smell a little bullshitty to me.
Any info from you well informed poalers?
