#sundown towns

LIVE

politicsofcanada:

This is my list of sundown towns and regions known for racism in Canada. It is in no way complete, and I will continuously add to it as people submit more entries to me via dm/ask/submission.

If you know of a place that I have not yet included, please reach out and let me know!

Based on my research, this is the only existing list of sundown towns in Canada. I am compiling this in the interest of safety for racialized people.

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

My obligatory addition to this every time it crosses my dash, because I know the link is definitely missing ones in my own (northern) state and there are some in this thread not on the above link either - thread by LeVar Burton with a LOT of replies from people naming the sundown towns near them:
