Hi there. Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world.
This is a raw and unfiltered look at the darkest chapters of history. In each episode I explore dictatorships, hate crimes and terror regimes that left indelible scars on humanity. Silenced voices, forgotten memories and uncomfortable truths that need to be told.
Incredible as it may seem, some cities in the US were "sundown towns," the name given to the many places in the United States that used formal or informal methods to exclude Black residents and residents of other races and ethnicities. This demonstrates that institutional racism always finds ways to take away rights, even those of its own citizens, because it doesn't accept diversity.
In many cases, towns or cities admitted Black workers but didn't allow them to reside there, so they had to leave at dusk.
"Sundown towns" emerged primarily in the northern United States between 1890 and 1940, some continued to appear until the 1960s.
Can you imagine this in Spain?
And that concludes today's episode, see you in the next one!
