  • Huey P. Long's Building Program in Louisiana
    DESIGNED FOR GLORY Huey P. Long’s building program in Louisiana Jeffrey P. Hébert 13 May 2003 Urban Design Politics Louisiana is a curious place to most outsiders. It is a state in the union that doesn’t seem to fit the American model. Indeed, the state tourism motto for many years has been, “Come as you are, leave different,” capitalizing on the assumption that most Americans will find the pelican state both unique and intriguing. The food is different, the music is different, the language is different, and the politics are definitely different. As a colony more associated with its Caribbean and Latin American cousins than its contemporary American colonies, Louisiana’s political structure has never followed the American archetype. Explored by the Spanish and settled by the French in the name of le Roi‐ Soleil, Louis XIV, American‐style politics have never suited the Latin heritage and culture of Louisiana where Code Napoleon is the legal guide. In the other 49 states, English Common law is exercised. It is no surprise that among the states of the union, Louisiana is the state known for its colorful politics. “Climactically, racially, to some extent institutionally, Louisiana is closer to Cuba or Mexico than it is to Connecticut. It is semi‐colonial, sharply divided racially, still partly feudal, partly Latin – it jostles constantly with the Latin‐American world. From the beginning there, American democracy has jostled, most unsuccessfully, with class and race rule. American political traditions have never had any rooted vitality in Louisiana.”1 1 Beals, Carleton. The Story of Huey P.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Paga(?}".
