From the LPB Vault: Uncle Earl - Louisiana's Colorful Governor
As part of LPB’s yearlong 50th Anniversary celebration, we’re opening our archives to feature Uncle Earl, an LPB original documentary on Earl K. Long, one of Louisiana’s most colorful and controversial governors—and the only sitting governor ever committed to a mental institution, not once, but twice. With rare archival footage and interviews from family, colleagues, and historians, this LPB production captures a colorful and complex chapter of Louisiana’s political history. Don’t miss this special vault broadcast, celebrating five decades of LPB storytelling.
