The Gore Research Center has commissioned Professor Anthony
Badger to write a scholarly biography of Albert Gore, Sr.
Badger is the Paul Mellon Professor of American History at Cambridge
University in Great Britain. A
specialist in post-World War II Southern political history, Badger has already
conducted significant research into Gore’s stand on civil rights in the 1950s
and 1960s and served as a panelist for the 1997 conference on “Albert Gore,
Sr., and the New South.” Professor
Badger will be making regular research visits to the Gore Center over the next
three years and expects to spend several months in residence in 2003.
