John Locke Foundation
Description edit
North Carolina is blessed with great beauty, a congenial climate, and rich traditions. One such tradition is a commitment to honesty over pretense and a stubborn insistence on what is right instead of what is popular or expedient.
In the 1700s, North Carolina was called a “vale of humility between two mountains of conceit.” It often charted its own course. North Carolina patriots were the first in America to call for independence. The state refused to ratify the U.S. Constitution without a Bill of Rights. And its state motto, Esse Quam Videri, translates as “To Be Rather Than To Seem.” Honoring this tradition, a group of North Carolinians in 1990 created the John Locke Foundation as an independent, nonprofit think tank that would work “for truth, for freedom, and for the future of North Carolina.”
To some people, the term “think tank” conjures up images of eggheads floating around in a daze, oblivious to the world around them. In reality, the John Locke Foundation has long been a bustling hub of activity — publishing studies and periodicals, hosting events, and making media and public appearances to promote innovative solutions to the problems North Carolinians worry about most:
