Quotes About Huey Long

Supporters on Huey Long

Russell, never forget that you had a great father, not an ordinary man. You only saw a human father, a man who was always abused, always distressed, always harassed, always pilloried, always misunderstood — even by his close associates, at times. His mind and thinking was so far ahead of his day, and ahead of his associates, that they never could keep up with him. But he knew right from wrong, and he tried to do right. He knew that he would be attacked if he sought to insist that great and powerful people, and politicians in control of government, were to be challenged. And he wasn’t afraid of any man, not even FDR.
personal letter to Russell Long from George Maines, former Hearst reporter and Huey Long press agent
