DeLesseps Story Morrison
deLesseps Story "Chep" Morrison, Sr., (January 18, 1912 — May 22, 1964) was an attorney and politician, the mayor of New Orleans from 1946 to 1961. He also served as an appointee of U.S. President John F. Kennedy as the United States ambassador to the Organization of American States between 1961 and 1963.
New Orleans' peak population was reached during Morrison's mayoralty, when the 1960 census recorded 627,525 inhabitants, a 10 percent increase from the 1950 figures. Morrison ran three primary campaigns for the Louisiana Democratic gubernatorial nomination, but was unsuccessful. As Louisiana's African Americans had been effectively disfranchised since the turn of the century, the Democratic primary was the only competitive election in the then one-party state.
==Early life, education, military==
Morrison was born to Jacob Haight Morrison, III (1875–1929), a district attorney in Pointe Coupee Parish, and his wife, Anita (née Olivier), a New Orleans socialite, in New Roads, the seat of Pointe Coupee Parish. The boy was named after deLesseps Story, a respected New Orleans judge to whom he was related on his mother's side; the family was related to Ferdinand de Lesseps and Sidney Story, an alderman for whom the area of Storyville was named.〔''New Orleans in the Forties'' by Mary Lou Widmer. Pelican Publishing: 2007; ISBN 158980497X, p. 119〕 He was the half-brother of Jacob Haight Morrison.
As a boy, Morrison once worked for an ice dealer, Alton Gaudin, father of future Louisiana state Representative Clark Gaudin of Baton Rouge. He had an older half-brother, Jacob Haight Morrison, IV, son of his father's first marriage to the former Eloise Yancy (1876–1905) of Jonesville, who died the year her son was born. In 1932, Morrison graduated from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. In 1934, he completed his law degree from the Louisiana State University Law Center.
