EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the charismatic Huey Long, an influential American politician in the early 1930s. Known as the Louisiana Kingfish, Long served as Governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and later became a US Senator representing the state until his untimely death. A Democrat with a strong vision for economic reform during the Great Depression, Long introduced the Share Our Wealth program in 1934. With its motto "Every Man a King" this initiative aimed to redistribute wealth and combat poverty and crime that plagued the nation at that time. Long was also an advocate for utilizing federal income to fund public works projects and social programs as means of stimulating economic growth. His popularity among the people made him a prominent figure in American politics. However, tragedy struck on September 8th, 1935 when he was shot and killed at the Louisiana state capitol in Baton Rouge under mysterious circumstances. The exact nature of his demise remains uncertain; some speculate it was an assassination attempt while others believe it may have been accidental friendly fire by his own bodyguards trying to protect him. This historic photograph is part of Heritage Images' collection showcasing significant figures from America's past during this tumultuous period marked by recession and political unrest.
