Great Men From History

Huey Long (1893-1935) was Louisiana's legendary populist Governor, 
U.S. Senator and favorite son. Poised to run for president on his 
“Share Our Wealth” platform, Long was assassinated in 1935 at the age 
of 42. 
 
Long was revered by the masses as a champion of the common man and 
demonized by the powerful as a dangerous demagogue. BIOGRAPHY | QUOTES

A vocal critic of corporate greed and government incompetence, Huey 
Long's "Share Our Wealth" political movement swept the nation during 
the Great Depression, garnering millions of supporters and threatening 
the re-election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
