Description

In 1957, Richard Brevard Russell Jr. told an Atlanta audience that he had tried to speak the voice of Georgia. Russell represented the views of Georgians well enough for them to elect him to the Georgia House of Representatives in 1920, the governors mansion in 1931, and the United States Senate from 1932 until 1970. Editors Logue and Freshley have chosen thirty-seven of Russell's speeches delivered between 1928 and 1969. Choosing the version of a text that Russell himself used in delivering the speeches, Logue and Freshley offer the reader representations of Russell's thought concerning issues confronting Georgia, the nation, and the world.
