This paper looks at how race and racism operate in the "sundown town" of Huntington. From its founding, Huntington has been overwhelmingly white. It demonstrates through anecdotes and conversations with locals that while race and racism are not generally talked about explicitly, it's an ever-present part of what makes the town what it is.
Through these investigations, it argues that race isn't a static structure that can be addressed as a whole, but that it's a series of events, happening to people and places.
