Huey Long Grave
Public service commissioner, then governor, finally U.S.
Senator, Huey Pierce Long went from obscure upstate Lawyer to
flamboyant national figure. Along the way, he built a political
dynasty - as well as roads, bridges, hospitals, and schools.
Proclaiming "Every Man a King," he'd begun hinting at his
candidacy for president just a month before his assassination,
in 1935, at age 42.

friend of the poor who dreamed of the day when the wealth of the
land would be spread among all the people.
I know the hearts of the people because I have not colored my
own i know, when I am right, i"m my own conscience. I have on
language. Its simplicity gains pardon for my lack of letters
fear will not change it. Persecution will not change it. It
cannot be changed while people suffer.
