NAACP's Barber wins award for rights efforts
GREENSBORO -- State NAACP President, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II received the Human Rights Medal Award presented in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the 1960 Greensboro lunch counter sit-in and the grand opening of the International Civil Rights Museum on Monday.
The opening of the museum coincided with the annual tribute to four North Carolina A&T freshmen, Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, Ezell Blair, Jr. (Jibreel Khazan) and the late David Richmond.
Their non-violent sit-in to desegregate Woolworth's sparked direct action by students across the south.
