The black McCains trace their surname to this slave ownership and neither claim nor disclaim blood relationship with Senator McCain , as no DNA tests have been conducted . Among the black McCains , siblings Lillie McCain ( born 1952 ) , of Detroit , and Charles McCain , Jr. ( born 1948 ) and Mary Lou McCain Fluker , of Carrollton , Mississippi , are the living contemporaries of Senator McCain .   Lillie McCain had in the past e-mailed Senator McCain to inform him about the black McCains after she heard him say on Meet the Press that his ancestors owned no slaves . John McCain had not known about the slaveholding past until it was discovered by reporters during his 2000 presidential campaign . The McCain plantation in Teoc , which was formally named Waverly , consisted of 2000 acre and existed from 1848 until 1952 . The plantation had slaves before the American Civil War and sharecroppers afterward ; influential blues guitarist Mississippi John Hurt was born on the plantation to one of the latter .   According to The Wall Street Journal Atlanta Bureau Chief Douglas Blackmon , who researched the black McCains in 2008 , the black McCains `` resisted the Ku Klux Klan , led the civil rights movement and voter registration efforts in the 1960s '' , and `` integrated public schools '' in Mississippi . Lillie McCain 's father Charles `` Jack '' McCain , a World War II veteran , purchased 120 acre of land in Teoc and split it with his cousin , participating in the civil rights movement in the South , working with Stokely Carmichael when he came to Greenwood , Mississippi .   Senator John McCain has never met any of the black McCains . Lillie McCain said that Senator John McCain has been invited to their biannual family reunion functions in Teoc ( the most recent having been held on July 24 , 2008 ) , but according to the McCain campaign , schedule conflicts have prevented Senator McCain from attending . Lillie McCain has met the brother of the Senator , Joseph `` Joe '' McCain , who has attended the Teoc reunions , and described him as `` very cordial , warm , extrovert ... really an energized personality '' .   A statement by the McCain 2008 presidential campaign on the subject of the black McCains said , `` How the Teoc descendents have served their community , and by extension , their country , is a testament to the power of family , love , compassion , and the human spirit .
