Abstract/Notes Objective: This paper recounts the history of the Alabama State Chiropractic Association’s posture queen program.

Discussion: Perfect posture contests were a successful, unifying, public relations program in the chiropractic profession in the 1950s and 1960s. The Alabama State Chiropractic Association was at the forefront in using these pageants to their fullest. While they had a short lived tenure, these contests increased the public’s awareness of chiropractic during a time of struggle for licensure. For unknown reasons, this pageant disappeared in the late 1960s.

Conclusion: Alabama’s posture queen program ran from 1956-1968.
