From her unique vantage point in New Orleans, Sybil Haydel
Morial’s life spans one of the most critical periods in our
country’s history. In this remarkable memoir, Morial chronicles
her life as both witness to and catalyst for sweeping
changes—desegregation, the end of Jim Crow, and the fight for
voting rights. These changes transformed the nation during her
lifetime. Morial’s story is welcome inspiration for the struggle
for political empowerment that continues. As Ambassador Andrew
Young, a childhood friend and later Sybil’s prom date, relates in
his foreword: “It is doubtful that New Orleans could have
produced two mayors with the dynamic, creative, and visionary
leadership of 'Dutch' and Marc Morial without a wife and mother of
Sybil’s loving strength, intelligence, and moral courage. But the
life she lived in the crucible times and her perception of the
civil rights movement in New Orleans goes far beyond that.”
