"A vocal critic of corporate greed and government incompetence, Huey Long's "Share Our Wealth" political movement swept the nation during the Great Depression, garnering millions of supporters and threatening the re-election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt."

"Long was revered by the masses as a champion of the common man and demonized by the powerful as a dangerous demagogue."

Since it is mainly the powerful who decide what will be published in texts or "historical" films and novels, we've been handed the "demagogue" impression of Long. Go past that to find out why he was beloved.
