Prompt
Alabama had sundown towns...Plural. And almost nobody talks about it. A sundown town was a place where Black people were not allowed after dark. Signs at city limits made it clear. Some said it outright. Others used coded language. But everyone knew what they meant. Cullman, Alabama was one of the most notorious. For decades, Black travelers knew to avoid it. If you were caught there after sunset, you could be arrested, beaten, or worse. The threat was real. And it wasn't just Cullman. Arab, Boaz, Albertville. Small towns across North Alabama enforced the same unwritten rule. No signs remain
