Abstract:

In its early years, the North Carolina Literary and Historical Association pushed legislation that encouraged cultural and educational activities in North Carolina. In the late 1960s, the NCLHA was under attack for mediocrity, conservatism, and lack of vigor based on its tradition of pushing literary and historical subjects. To counter these attacks, members tried to move meeting sites away from Raleigh and to drop 'Literary' from the name.
