What are Sundown Towns?

A sundown or sunset town was a city, town or neighbourhood in the US that excluded non-whites after dark. The term sundown came from the signs that were posted at the Towns borders stating "Negro, Don't Let the Sun Set On You Here." A stark warning that let blacks know we had to leave by sundown.

While creating my soon to be released episode about the Little Rock Nine, I got to thinking about education, school and specifically my first day at school. I started to think about people's first days in general. I decided to ask a few listeners and friends to share their first day experiences, some of which you'll hear in today's episode.

I hope you enjoy it.

Show Notes:

Welcome to season 2 of The Black History Buff Podcast. This season kicks off with an interview with a young man named Enosadeda Odiase

Nosa is a former engineering student now fully-fledged engineer, born in London from Nigerian parents and one half of a writing team who have produced what I can only describe as an African Game of Thrones. In the interview, we discuss his background, reasons for writing the book, African History and even his favourite food.

You can contact me on social media and check out a copy of Nosa's book using the link below:

Todays Black History Blitz is about a self-taught mathematician, astronomer, compiler of almanacs, a writer, an inventor and the man who may have completed the Design for Washing DC Capitol City of the United States of America from memory.

Benjamin Banneker was born November 9th, 1731 on a farm near Baltimore that he would eventually inherit from his father. Although he occasionally attended a one-room Quaker schoolhouse, Banneker was mostly self-educated and did much of his learning through the avid reading of borrowed books. It was noted that from a young age he was particularly skilled at Mathematics.

His early accomplishments included constructing an irrigation system for the family farm and a wooden clock that kept accurate time and ran for more than 50 years until his death.

One of the hardest things about doing my style of podcast is that it’s a solo pursuit. From the research, to the writing, to finding the sound effects, then editing, posting and promoting via social, I like many many many podcasters do all this by myself and brings me to this weeks proverb which is:
