==Tourism== Greensboro, the county seat, is home to the [[Safe House Black History Museum]]. On March 21, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. attended a meeting at Greensboro's St. Matthew Church, and then spent the night in this house where he sought refuge from the Ku Klux Klan. The museum reveals the struggle for equality for African Americans in Alabama, and its founder, [[Theresa Burroughs]], was both a family friend of King, and a foot soldier in the Civil Rights Movement.<ref name="eoahale"/><ref>{{cite web | title = Safehouse Black History Museum at Greensboro, Alabama | publisher = Rural Southwest Alabama | date = April 25, 2012 | url = http://www.ruralswalabama.org/attractions/the-safe-house-black-history-museum-at-greensboro-al-recently-renovated-by-auburn-rural-studio/ | access-date = February 1, 2013}}</ref> Historically [[William Burns Paterson]] had set up [[Tullibody Academy]] for African Americans in Greensboro.
