A sundown town is an all-White community that shows or has shown hostility toward non-Whites. Sundown town practices may be evoked in the form of city ordinances barring people of color after dark, exclusionary covenants for housing opportunity, signage warning ethnic groups to vacate, unequal treatment by local law enforcement, and unwritten rules permitting harassment.
Sundown counties [2] and sundown suburbs were created as well. While sundown laws became de jure illegal following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 , some commentators hold that certain 21st-century practices perpetuate a modified version of the sundown town.
