Greensboro

Greensboro needs 1 day: cooling off at Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe, with one of the largest wave pools in the country, and visiting the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, housed in the original counter where 4 Black students launched a historic sit-in in 1960 against racial segregation, the same afternoon. April-June and September-October bring the mildest weather. It's inexpensive for the US Southeast. That Woolworth's counter sit-in spread to over 50 Southern cities within weeks and became one of the founding acts of the modern civil rights movement.
