About the Author
The author of this speech is Huey Long. He is a man who history has described as being loved

speech, he is quoted to say” Is that a right of life, when the young children of this country are

reform agenda ironically never touched on the interests of the black community. During his reign

risks that came with it. However, there are also those who believe that Long did a commendable
job in infrastructure, education and health services.
