Sundown Towns

Sundown towns were a form of segregation, in which a city in the United States was purposely all-white, excluding people of other races.

At this program  open to the public, James Loewen, author of Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism, will present his ongoing research and perspective on sundown towns in the United States and in the Midwest, specifically.  He will focus his attention and discussion on recent research conducted at UWL that indicates La Crosse, Wisconsin should be included in the category of sundown towns, and will invite audience members—specifically, those in power in our community—to consider ways in which La Crosse can acknowledge and then work to change this crucial aspect of its history and character.
