Email testimony from an Ohio resident: “According to my grandparents, most of the area […]around Martins Ferry, was basically “sun down”. I recall a local business man telling me that up until about 1974 there was a sign at the city limit of Neffs, OH, […] that said, ‘Nigger, Don’t let the sun set on you here’.”
