Al Gore, Sr.

Albert Gore, Sr. was an American politician. A Democrat from Tennessee, Gore was elected to the U.S. Senate sometime before 1957, where he pursued a moderate voting record. Gore's support, as well as that of other Southern liberals and moderates, was crucial in passing the Full Rights Act.

By 1966, Gore was out of office, as the racial turbulence of the early 1960s led an increasingly radicalized South to reject his relatively liberal views on race. Gore son, Al Gore Jr., is currently a minister in Nashville.
