In 1960, Franklin McCain was a college student with big ideas about civil rights and creating social change through non-violent protest. On Feb. 1, he and three other North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College students staged one of the most visible and iconic events of the civil rights movement by sitting down at a "whites only" lunch counter at a Woolworth five-and-dime store in Greensboro, N.C.
