Sundown Towns has won an Outstanding Book Award of the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Bigotry and Human Rights.
Sundown Towns by Movement veteran Jim Loewen proves that many suburbs, towns, and rural areas — perhaps a MAJORITY of all communities in the North! — kept out African Americans for decades.
Some still do. These facts have important implications for social change and racial justice today. The last chapter of Sundown Towns suggests ways to open up these towns and neighborhoods — maybe you can take the lead! The book is published by The New Press and available at all book stores, from your neighborhood to the web.
