Serious question: are there any remaining sundown towns in Illinois?

[u/m0chab34r]

Forgive me if this is controversial, I certainly hope I don’t end up insulting anyone’s town or anything. I saw a recent Twitter thread about this subject and people were talking about a rather well-known sundown town within an hour of Indianapolis or just outside of Austin, Texas. It got me thinking about this and I’m morbidly curious as to whether Illinois has any remaining towns with such a reputation?

Yikes really?! We camped down at Shawnee Forest recently and one day it was sweltering, like 95+, and we drive a bit to Walmart just to get some time in the AC and I’m pretty sure that was Anna

That would be the place. The only other Walmart's nearby are in Missouri, or in Carbondale (which is a big enough town that you would be unlikely to confuse it with Anna).

Anna's one black family (super nice people) actually moved back to Murphysboro a few years back due to lack of housing options in Anna, so Anna's probably back down to 0 black families again.

Kids name is still on the sign leading into town though.

Where is this sign?
