Abstract:
The nation’s rural electrification program is marking fifty years of success on May 11. Since then, the Rural Electrification Administration has completely transformed rural communities by extending electric power to rural areas. This article discusses how the program was established, and presents excerpts from interviews with North Carolinians recalling rural life with and without electricity.
