Mr. White said that he wrote this book to clear up some of the myths and discrepancies generated by Huey Long's contemporaries and by other authors. Mr. White based his book on interviews with people who knew Huey Long and on oral history. Mr. White said he tried to just give the facts and not opinions in writing this biography, and he wants his audience to decide for themselves whether Huey Long was a dictator, demagogue, or a democrat and to decide who was responsible for Huey Long's death. He also responded to questions from members of the audience. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/192551-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/192551-1 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 00:00:00 GMT Victory and concession speeches in the run-off election for mayor of New Orleans held Saturday, May 20, 2006 were shown.
