The National Youth Alliance (NYA) was an American right-wing political group founded by Willis Carto, head of the right-wing Liberty Lobby. It was reorganized from another group founded by Carto, Youth for Wallace, in 1968, which was a campaign group for segregationist governor George Wallace. Its national chairman was William Luther Pierce. Their party organ was the magazine Attack!
The group split in 1970 in the face of a dispute between Carto and Pierce. The group schismed, with the Carto faction becoming Youth Action. Pierce's faction kept the name and Attack!, but he transformed it into the National Alliance in 1974, an explicitly neo-Nazi group.
