Abstract:

The Tar Heel Junior History Association is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary in 2003. During its history the association has played a leading role in promoting the study of state and local history in the schools. The authors discuss some of the association's landmarks over the past fifty years, including the General Assembly's passing legislation ( Bill #207) establishing the association in April 1953, the start of the TAR HEEL JUNIOR HISTORIAN magazine in 1963, and the opening of a gallery in 1995 in the North Carolina Museum of History to showcase award-winning student projects.
