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.
