actually grew up in the surrounding area of Dayton Ohio. west Milton, tipp city and such and I have to say I heard stories of black folks getting run out of town and I remember vivid accounts of my cousin getting harassed because she was in a car with a young black man. this was only about 20yrs or so ago and I haven’t been back so who knows if things have changed.
Vidor, Texas is correct. A number of years ago an African American man moved there from Beaumont , Texas, only to end up dead within a few weeks of the move.
I saw the sign in Vidor, Texas
there are places in the surrounding Detroit area that are sundown towns everybody knows where they are located. When I was a bus driver I would tell my riders make sure u get to the other side of 8 mile before dusk.
