Huey Long
Long Legacy Project
Annotation
Huey Long, and the Long family, had a remarkable impact on Louisiana and the U.S. generally. Huey's son Russell Long served in the U.S. Senate for almost 40 years. The Long Legacy Project is a privately funded project to commemorate Huey Long's legacy.
Excerpt from Huey Long: The Man, His Mission, and Legacy: I came from a fairly well-to-do family because of Huey Long's Administration. I am a Black retired U.S. Postman. I think of the wonders he has contributed to making our jobs so easy and not as complex as described in the old days. What a great job well done in promoting Louisiana as he has. Our love and generous appreciation extends in the surpass. Thanks for a job truly well done. . . We miss you Gov. Long. YOU are not dead in our hearts, you are only just away. May God bless your spirit that hangs proudly in the skies of the old state we both call home—Louisiana. —DLC, retired U.S. Postman
