Join Brian Altobello, seasoned historian and author, in this compelling online lecture as he explores the complex legacy of Huey Long, the notorious "Kingfish" of Louisiana politics. Through a blend of ruthless tactics, sharp humor and relentless ambition, Long transformed Louisiana's political landscape, creating a deeply polarized state defined by fierce rivalries. Discover how Long's charismatic appeal among everyday citizens nearly positioned him as a formidable challenger to Franklin Roosevelt in the 1936 election. This session will explore the enduring impact of Long's divisive leadership and his lasting imprint on American political history.
