Civil rights museum now speaks for the Greensboro Four (USA Today)

From USA Today:

By Jayne Clark, USA TODAY

On Feb.1, 1960, Franklin McCain and three fellow African American college students walked into the F.W. Woolworth store in downtown Greensboro, N.C., sat down at the lunch counter and ignited a movement that re-shaped American society.
On Monday, exactly 50 years after that historic act, the new International Civil Rights Center & Museum opens in the former five-and-dime store.
