Holiday
Today is the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Holiday. There are tons of blog posts out there talking about the significance of the day, but I thought it might be enough to simply point out that we have 3 Rural Studio students working diligently on significant renovation to the Greensboro Safe House Black History Museum. The museum occupies a house used often by Dr. King during his organization of peaceful resistance protests of segregation in Alabama during the 1960s, including his hiding from the KKK only days before his assassination in April 1968. The museum was founded in 2002 by Theresa Burroughs, a civil rights foot soldier who worked with King. The Safe House Museum is located at Davis Street and Martin Luther King Drive, Greensboro, Ala. 36744.
