Email from 2015: “I am from a town in Ohio named Marion. I believe it fits your definition of a “sundown town.” In 1919, a white woman was murdered. The townspeople suspected a member of the city’s small black population, who lived on the city’s industrial west side. (Later the real killer would be apprehended–not surprisingly, he was white.) People placed threatening posters all over that part of town with the ominous title “T.N.T.”(a double meaning) warning that if the entire population did not get out of town immediately, they would be burnt to the ground…The town is certainly not a sundown town anymore, although I do not know when black people started moving back in.”
