Huey P. Long Statue - Louisiana Capitol Grounds
Uploaded: October 18, 2008
The focal point of the grounds is this statue of Gov. and U.S. Sen. Huey P. Long. Since the Capitol was his dream, Long is buried under the statue. The statue was erected in 1940, to mark the spot. Bill

Good ole Huey! This is a great photo of the statue. When my twin and I were in college at LSU, we used to go look at the shadow of this statue because in certain light the shadow of Huey's fingers made him appear to be giving well known tacky hand gesture with his middle finger, even though it was really the index finger causing the shadow. Oh the things I remember from my college education. LOlMary L. Lemley October 18, 2008
