The era was characterized by social inequality, and this was especially true in Memphis. Boss Crump, a white political boss, courted the black population to gain their support. The black population in Memphis flexed its political muscle in 1991, and the city elected its first black mayor. However, the city also saw racial strife, similar to that of other southern cities. In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in Memphis.
