- Description:
- This circa 1990 article by John Alexander, editorial page editor of the Greensboro News & Record, discusses the humility of the four former students who launched the sit-ins, Joseph McNeil, Jibreel Khazan (formerly Ezell Blair Jr.), Franklin McCain, and David Richmond, and praises them for never having "capitalized on his moment of fame". Alexander describes the four as ordinary people who transformed society. This article was clipped and saved in a scrapbook by Clarence "Curly" Harris, manager of the Greensboro Woolworth store at the time of the 1960 sit-ins. The article is undated, but references the thirtieth anniversary of the sit-ins and appears in the scrapbook with other articles from that time.
