Enjoy the museum and pick up a smiley
Small lock and lock container with a few tradeable items. This is a residential neighborhood so watch for muggles. The Museum is aware of the cache and its location. Hope you have a minute to enjoy some history they love visitors and Ms Burroughs is very excited about this project
The building that houses this museum once served as a safe house for Martin Luther King during a visit to the area. After receiving word that the Ku Klux Klan planned to kill him as he drove from town, civil rights organizers brought King to this house. Two nearby black churches were burned during the night. The museum contains old tools and many slavery artifacts, from manacles to a sales notice from a slave sale. The museum’s greatest strength lies in its collection of photographs and in the memory of its extraordinary founder - Ms. Theresa Burroughs. Countless photographs memorialize the civil rights struggle in the Black Belt: photos of the Greensboro marches, of Bloody Sunday in Selma, and of the triumphant march from Selma to Montgomery, as well as photographs of almost all the luminaries of the civil rights movement. Ms. Burroughs was there for all of it, marching, praying, singing, and being beaten and arrested. She is a great raconteuse with a remarkable memory. This is living history at its finest.
