Date: September 8, 1935
Details: Louisiana senator Huey Long was assassinated at the State Capitol in Baton Rouge on September 8, 1935, decades before the political assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert Kennedy. Like the ones since, Huey’s assassination rocked the United States to its foundation. It is believed that, had he lived, he would have become president. To many, he was a spirited visionary. But to others, he was a dangerous radical.
