Discover facts vs myths in Laveau's life journey.

You’ll gain insight into faith and resilience today.

Discover the fascinating life of Marie Laveau, a powerful New Orleans priestess known for her beauty, kindness, and deep faith, as you explore the truth behind her legendary story.

Legendary for an unusual combination of spiritual power, beauty, charisma, showmanship, intimidation, and shrewd business sense, Marie Leveau also was known for her kindness and charity, nursing yellow fever victims and ministering to condemned prisoners, and her devotion to the Roman Catholic Church. In separating verifiable fact from semi-truths and complete fabrication, Carolyn Morrow Long explores the unique social, political, and legal setting in which the lives of Laveau's African and European ancestors became intertwined in nineteenth-century New Orleans.
