Alabama History isn't just a something you learn from a book, it's right here for you to experience firsthand! The Safehouse Black History Museum is a personal account of Ms. Theresa Burroughs, a Civil Rights Foot Soldier of the sixties.

On the night of March 21, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. sought refuge from the Ku Klux Klan inside a small shot gun style home in the depot neighborhood of Greensboro, Alabama. Today that house is known as The Safe House Black History Museum. It is a site of great significance to American Black History as well as the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950’s and 1960’s.

While your at it, stop at Mustang Oil for lunch or dinner. Don't be fooled by this non-description little place. The locals know that you can't find better steak, fried catfish or ribs anywhere around!
