- Historian Brian Armstrong tells the shocking story of this &“sundown town&” and how it evolved into the diverse community that exists today. On March 1, 1894, two African American men broke into a home in rural Franklin Park, New Jersey. and murdered a white woman and her daughter before her husband fought and killed the attackers. The newspapers called it the &“Franklin Park Tragedy,&” and the story captivated public attention nationally and abroad. But another tragedy came afterward, with the racist forced expulsion of many local African American residents.
