Steinman Legal News Report January 11. 2014. Franklin McCain -- of 'Greensboro Four,' who defied whites-only barrier -- dies. McCain died Thursday after a brief illness, according to his alma mater, North Carolina A&T State University. He died in a hospital a few miles from the old Woolworth's location -- now the nonprofit International Civil Rights Center and Museum, which opened 50 years to the day McCain and his colleagues began their sit-in on February 1, 1960. The museum posted on its site a tribute to McCain and the other three students for their "courageous act (that) marked a turning point in the struggle for equality that continues to this day." McCain, 72, graduated from North Carolina A&T in 1964. http://paper.li/JanetSteinman/1368661556
