Is Vidor, TX Still A Sundown Town? (Original Post) Shell_Seas Aug 2021 OP

I've seen. The list is places that were once sundown towns, not necessarily current ones. Shell_Seas Aug 2021 #4
My town is on that list. 50% of its residents are Black and Latino. Scrivener7 Aug 2021 #2

Has been for decades.

The list might not be too reliable.
