Let the Glory Out: My South and its Politics

In a story reminiscent of an old gospel tune heard from a deep woods church in Tennessee, Let the Glory Out, by Albert Gore, Sr., is at once a telling account of a life spent in politics helping to shape many of the most significant moments of the twentieth century, and a rare glimpse into the private life of a legendary political family committed to public service. In a refreshingly candid and lively discussion, a picture of Gore, Sr. emerges as a tireless advocate for social change who stuck to principle and never backed down from controversy. The pride of victory and the pain of defeat fill every page. More profound, perhaps, is the personal portrait he gives of his young son Al Gore, an unsentimental look at a father's hopes for his son's future, now placed in the context of a son honoring his deceased father's memory through his own political legacy. From commentary on race relations to words of inspiration for our youth, Gore, Sr. embodied the best in Southern progressivism and, along the way, clearly articulated the bedrock issues that have come to define much of American politics today.Albert Gore Sr. is the author of 'Let the Glory Out: My South and its Politics', published 2000 under ISBN 9781588180285 and ISBN 158818028X.
