deLesseps Story Morrison, Sr., known as Chep Morrison (January 18, 1912 – May 22, 1964), was an American attorney and politician, who was the 54th mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana from 1946 to 1961.
He then 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 1950.
Morrison ran three primary campaigns for the Louisiana Democratic gubernatorial nomination, but was unsuccessful.
Since Louisiana's African Americans had been effectively disfranchised at the turn of the century, the Democratic primary was the only competitive election in the then one-party state.
