Introduction | The Safe House Black Historic Museum in Greensboro is a site of great significance to the Black history and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. The museum occupies a house used to conceal Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during his organization of peaceful resistance protests of segregation in Alabama during the 1960’s. The museum, founded by Mrs. Theresa Burroughs, a Civil Rights foot soldier who worked with Dr. King, is open by appointment and available for individuals, groups, and school field trips. It contains many artifacts of the struggle from slavery to equality, as well as unpublished local and state photos of the Movement. |
