The text lists Levittown, NY as a “sundown town.” Levittown was indeed racially segregated as initial housing sales were limited to whites only through restrictive covenants that also prohibited the sale or rental to anyone not a member of the “Caucasian race.” Although such covenants were deemed unsonstitional by the Supreme Court in 1948, segregation was informally and forcefully perpetuated by the Levittown Property Owners Association. However, Levittown consists of unincorporated areas in the Towns of Hempstead and Oyster Bay. Growing up there in the 1950s sand 1960s, I can’t remember the existence of any lodging accommodations. Morever, as an unincorporated area,, there would not have been a mechanism to pass a sundown law. 2buffalo (talk) 17:42, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
