There are so many stories from our nation‘s history that need to be more well-known. I don‘t think I‘d even heard of sundown towns till recently, and this book is some thorough education. Further, we haven‘t fully reckoned with this pst and these things still affect us...

Considering the war on drugs and racism, this book should be a must read for any citizen of the US. It is a bit more research heavy then Loewen's other books for he does use many figures.

Table showing African American residences in counties (56). Lower is showing how AAs were chased out. Rage inducing book but a good read so far
