Greensboro's International Civil Rights Center and Museum opens its doors to visitors this morning. It's housed in a former Woolworth's store where, fifty years ago today, four students at North Carolina A&T State University held their first sit-in. They were Joseph MacNeil, Franklin McCain, David Richmond, and Ezell Blair, now known as Jibril Khazan. Richmond died years ago, but the surviving three of the "Greensboro Four" attended the ribbon cutting on Monday. They also spoke recently at a conference in Greensboro. Here are their recollections in their own words.
