The film's title refers to roadside signs that were posted along the highway at town or county lines throughout the United States. The signs would read "GET OUT" and were directed towards African Americans, advising them to leave town by sunset in what are known as "sundown towns", all-white municipalities or neighborhoods in the US that practice a form of segregation by enforcing restrictions excluding people of non-white races via some combination of discriminatory local laws, intimidation and violence. In some regions, these notices remained posted until the 1970s.
