Wow, truly remarkable history project here (ht @nightdream).
Spend a quality minute with it, and learn about the appalling racism of “sundown towns” that covered the US South in places like…[checks map]…Edina and St. Louis Park, MN https://sfba.social/@nightdream/113080565424920512

  Uh-oh. Rabbit hole. Did I grow up in a sundown town? Yes, I did, but just as things were starting to change. https://justice.tougaloo.edu/map/

  @inthehands @nightdream For anybody interested in this, I think Loewen's book "Sundown Towns" is very much worth reading. The way he weaves together hard census data with history and anecdote really changed my understanding of America.
