The Shameful Phenomenon of Sundown Towns
What are Sundown Towns?A sundown or sunset town was a city, town or neighbourhood in the US that excluded non-whites after dark.
The term sundown came from the signs that were posted at the Towns borders stating "Negro, Don't Let the Sun Set On You Here." A stark warning that let blacks know we had to leave by sundown.

1st day of school: The little Rock Nine Preview
While creating my soon to be released episode about the Little Rock Nine, I got to thinking about education, school and specifically my first day at school. I started to think about people's first days in general. I decided to ask a few listeners and friends to share their first day experiences, some of which you'll hear in today's episode.
I hope you enjoy it.
I'd love to hear from you, and when I say hear from I mean your voices, so if you have something to say and are happy for it to be aired on the show, please leave me a message using the links below. If you're on social media, you can leave me a message using the link in my bio.

Customer Reviews
Black history
I love it I watch it all the time when I go to sleep .
Brilliant
First off I’ve listened to every podcast at least 3x now. All of them are very well thought out and beautifully researched. The perfect combination of information, storytelling and comedy. Im beating myself up that it took this long to find. I will be purchasing my hoodie and patiently wait for more!
Inspiring On So Many Levels
I’ve enjoyed this podcast so much! I’ve been hooked from the start. The way you put the stories together makes for a positively unique experience. You have inspired me to do more research on Black history. If I ever have children, I hope I encourage and teach them the way you’ve taught your son. Congrats on the teaching degree! Hope that you’re putting out some more episodes soon! Can’t wait!
Need more episodes!!
