Interview with Senator Al Gore, Sr. (1958)

[DanMcCollum]

No Albert Gore Sr. did not help Robert Byrd with the filibuster to stop Civil Rights legislation. Gore was one of the few Senators, as a matter of fact, who refused to sign the Southern Manifesto in the 1950s. Although he did vote against some Civil Rights legislation in 1964, due to political pressure, he voted solidly for it in 1965. In fact, Gore's support for Civil Rights likely lead to his defeat in the 1970s.

@DanMcCollum Actually Gore Sr was very much a part of the filibuster! Voting against the 1964 CRB was kind of a big deal as well, which he opposed
