These communities are sometimes called &#8220;sundown towns&#8221; and they are a little known facet of American history that has tremendous relevance today for all-white suburbs and neighborhoods. Our guest today is historian James Loewen here to discuss his latest book called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sundown Towns, a Hidden Dimension of Racism in America.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jim Loewen taught race relations for twenty years at the University of Vermont. Previously he taught at predominantly black Tougaloo College in Mississippi. He now lives in Washington, D.C., continuing his research on how Americans remember their past. His previous books include the award winning and very influential, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lies my teacher told me,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d followed by \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lies Across America.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sonali\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Subversive Thought for the Day: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the national bestseller, Lies My Teacher Told Me, James Loewen once wrote; &#8220;Citizens who are their own historians, willing to identify lies and distortions and able to use sources to determine what really went on in the past, become a formidable force for democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to the show Sundown Towns GUEST: James Loewen, author of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sundown Towns, a Hidden Dimension of Racism in America,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lies Across America,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lies My Teacher Told Me\u00e2\u20ac\u009d From Maine to California, thousands of communities across the United States kept African Americans, or sometimes Chinese Americans and Jewish Americans out of their towns by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
