Sundown Towns | Episode 4834/Segment 2

A look at sundown towns. That’s the phrase used to describe cities that historically did not permit African Americans to live in their communities. Black people were told to leave by sundown or face possible violence or arrest. One Detroit’s Will Glover spoke with bridge Detroit’s Bryce Huffman about his report on the Detroit suburbs wrestling with the legacy of being sundown towns. Ep 4834/Seg 2
