I think I can say something regarding "sundown towns."
I have relatives in Sullivan (which is just north of Lake Shelbyville, more or less an hour from here). There used to be an ongoing snide joke in the family, that the only black face you'd ever see in Sullivan belonged to a worker in the post office---and she commuted from Decatur.
I don't know if that's still true; and I certainly don't mean to disparage the entire town, which after all has a number of my family members, and many other decent people, too. I'm sure everyone from C-U is welcome at The Little Theater On The Square. Go catch a show! I would, if I actually liked live theater.
But when Monica Fountain speaks of "sundown towns," that rings true in my ears.
