Sundown Towns are all-white communities, neighborhoods, or counties that exclude Blacks and other minorities through the use of discriminatory laws, harassment, and threats or use of violence. Yes they still exist today. If you travel by car, know the cities you travel in. #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #BlackFediverse #BlackFedi #BlackAcademics #BlackDiaspora #BIPoc #blacklivesmatter #diversity #DiversityEquityInclusion #dei #mastodon #racism #antiracist #asian #indigenous #mena #history

@zhivi My hometown of Tacoma has a shameful history of mistreatment of Blacks and Asians dating back to at least the 1880s.
UW’s Civil Rights and Labor History Consortium compiled maps that illustrate the slow pace of desegregation in Washington.
In the absence of anecdotes, these data illustrate how slowly these cities have desegregated during the last 50 years.
