These signs said: ******s, don’t let the sun set on you in this town”. Many towns had them until the 1960s. Vidor, Texas is a city widely known for a billboard it used to have. Have you ever seen pictures of these signs? I couldn’t find any pictures.

There was a talk on CSPAN this past weekend.

See Gretchen Sorin, Driving While Black, around 13 minutes in.

That was just a drawing of what those signs looked like. I meant an actual picture of a real sign that said something like that. Has anyone seen a picture of a real one?
