Sundown Towns Linna Place?s guest James Loewen, is no stranger to Talking History. In 2003 his two interviews on "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong," and "Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong," caused quite a stir. This time he joins us in Black History Month to discuss his research on the widely used but historically hidden practice of barring minorities from American communities after sundown. Loewen is emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Vermont and author of "Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism." And Michael Farquhar joins us in the seventh of a ten part series of readings adapted from his book, "A Treasury of Deception: Liars, Misleaders, Hoodwinkers, and the Extraordinary True Stories of History's Fakes and Frauds." The show includes our regular look at History in the News and our recommendation for a historical site of the week.
