GREENSBORO -- Bryan. Reynolds. Cone. Weaver.
For the most part, it has been the Triad's tried-and-true philanthropists who have bankrolled the International Civil Rights Center and Museum since 2001 -- along with a couple of million dollars from taxpayers.

Starbucks. Crayola. Xerox. Federal Express.
Officials with the sit-in museum are quietly courting corporations, so far the weakest link in its cadre of donors."
