ABOUT
THE CENTER
The Center for a Better South is a pragmatic, nonpartisan think
tank dedicated to developing progressive ideas, policies and information
for thinking leaders who want to make a difference in the American
South.
The
Center, a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, has been crafted
in the spirit of the L.Q.C. Lamar Society, which was started in
1969 by "men and women who believed the South could achieve
practical solutions to its problems, regardless of whether these
men were liberal or conservative, white or black, Democrat or Republican,
establishment or student." Among the founders were newspaper
publisher H. Brandt Ayers, former U.S. Sen. Terry Sanford and former
Mississippi Gov. William Winter. The group's efforts led to the
formation of the Southern Growth Policies Board and a book of essays,
You Can't Eat Magnolias, both in 1971.
