description: Long rebuilt the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, paved roads, and built bridges. He established a statewide charity hospital system to provide the poor population with free medical care and provided free textbooks to schoolchildren. Then, gun shots echoed through the capitol building. Carl Weiss, a local dentist, assassinated Huey P. Long, Louisianais most outspoken politician. Huey P. Long: Talker and Doer is a simple way for children to learn about the man who changed Louisiana for the better. His life is also a lesson in the value of helping others.
