Sundown town - Anna Illinois

Trigger warning: extreme anti black violence
There is something about Anna Illinois I keep coming back to. But then I am intrigued by sun down towns. I’m fascinated by the fact that most is Illinois’ suburbs were sun down towns. I have know idea why 🤷🏾‍♀️ and it all started with a little town called Anna #fyp #crochetdiva #themoreyouknow #willfullignoranceisathing

Bottom of the totem pole. That’s gotta be rough.😂

The reason for KKK, sundown towns, lynchings, etc. was to prevent interracial relationships.
