Sundown Towns

I am about a quarter of the way done with the Sundown Towns book and already find it to be disturbing. I did not have any idea about these towns until now. It was very surprising to hear some of the towns that were and are sundown towns. A few that were mentioned were as close as 10 miles away from where i live. That got me wondering if my town was a sundown town. There is no signs that i can remember that state no African Americans allowed, but I am only 20 so there could have been. I do feel that my town could be a sundown town because I can only think of three African Americans that have lived in my town, one of which is my second cousin. But this book has opened my eyes up to many different aspects, and I look forward to continuing to read it.
