Marc Haydel Morial /ˌmɔːriˈæl/ (born January 3, 1958) is an American political and civic leader and the current president of the National Urban League. Morial served as Mayor of New Orleans, from 1994 to 2002, [1] President of the United States Conference of Mayors in 2001 and Louisiana State Senator from 1991-1994 [2].
Morial was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. After completing his undergraduate degree at University of Pennsylvania in1980 and receiving his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center in 1983 [3], he began his career as a lawyer in New Orleans and in 1985 he established a private law practice there. In 1991, Morial was elected to the Louisiana State Senate where he served until 1994 [2].
Morial was elected New Orleans Mayor in 1994 as the youngest mayor in 50 years and one of the youngest mayors ever of a major American city. [4]
As President of the National Urban League since 2003 he has been the primary catalyst for an era of change -- a transformation for the 110-year-old historic civil rights and urban advocacy organization.
His leadership has focused on elevating the healthy and economic disparities revealed by the COVID-19 Pandemic. [5] Under his leadership, the National Urban League has launched the initiative, the Urban League Fights For You, which provides support for communities in the areas of economics. [6]
Under his stewardship, the League had completed several initiatives in 2005 he launched a successful $250M fundraising campaign to rebrand and retool the NUL programs advocacy volunteers and affiliate relationships. As the recessions drove unemployment levels in urban communities into the double digits, the NUL under his leadership launched a historic $100 million, five year, “Jobs Rebuild America: Educate, Employ, Empower” initiative in 2011 – a solutions-based, comprehensive approach to the nation’s employment and education crisis that brings together federal government, business, and nonprofit resources to create economic opportunity in 50 cities across the country through the Urban League affiliate network [7].
His creativity has led to initiatives such as the Urban Youth Empowerment Program to assist young adults in securing sustainable jobs, and Entrepreneurship Centers in 12 cities to help the growth of small businesses. Also, Morial created the National Urban League Empowerment Fund, which has pumped almost $200 million into urban impact businesses including minority business through both debt and equity investments. [8]

Hello! I would like to include that during Marc Morial's time as mayor, New Orleans had two professional sports achievements. The acquisition of a NBA basketball team and hosting a Super Bowl.
-I'd like to add this new paragraph to the section-
In 2002 NBA basketball returned to the city after successful negotiations for the league's Charlotte Hornets to relocate there. [2] Secondly, following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Morial persuaded the organizers of National Automobile Dealers Association Convention to change its date so that Super Bowl XXXVI (held at the Louisiana Superdome) could be played one week later than originally scheduled, enabling the NFL to keep its post-season tournament fully intact. The week of regular-season games slated to be played on the weekend following the attacks had to be postponed and was transferred to the end of the regular season. [3]

Hello! I would like to include that during Marc Morial's time as mayor, New Orleans had two professional sports achievements. The acquisition of a NBA basketball team and hosting a Super Bowl.
-I'd like to add this new paragraph to the section-
In 2002 NBA basketball returned to the city after successful negotiations for the league's Charlotte Hornets to relocate there. [2] Secondly, following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Morial persuaded the organizers of National Automobile Dealers Association Convention to change its date so that Super Bowl XXXVI (held at the Louisiana Superdome) could be played one week later than originally scheduled, enabling the NFL to keep its post-season tournament fully intact. The week of regular-season games slated to be played on the weekend following the attacks had to be postponed and was transferred to the end of the regular season. [3]
