    In my opinion, the only governor of Louisiana subsequent to Huey Long who shared such a colorful reign and popular support was Edwin Edwards.

      As fun as Edwards was, he was no Huey Long. Of course Edwards was a lot of fun. “Better a lizard than a wizard”

      The son in law of someone he just fired killed him. Litteraly the same day. If you want to get technical the "skullcrushers" he had as bodyguards shot him more times than Weiss

    Huey P. Newton creator of the black panther party was named after Huey P. Long because he was the first governor in Louisiana to build schools and hospitals in the black community. Both Huey P. Newtons parents are from Louisiana.
