Profile

Huey Long was a radically outspoken Louisiana Senator who forcefully pushed through populist reforms during the Great Depression. He created the Share Our Wealth program with the motto "Every Man a King," earning him the nickname The Kingfish. A leftist politician always fighting the rich, his proposals expanded his home state's infrastructure, but many critics simply paint him as a demagogue.
