Retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Joseph A. McNeil sits in front of a photo of himself as a young civil rights activist at the International Civil Rights Center and Museum, Greensboro, N.C., Oct. 29, 2016. McNeil was a civil rights pioneer and member of the Greensboro Four, a group of four activists who staged a sit-in at the "Whites Only" lunch counter at an F.W. Woolworth's department store on Feb. 1, 1960. This protest generated a movement that sparked thousands more to participate in sit-ins, leading to the ending of racial segregation at Woolworth's and many other establishments throughout the southern United States.
