About the book

Patronage, persuasion, and fear during E. H. Crump's years as mayor led a group of Memphians to launch a dynamic experiment in civic reform. David Tucker vividly describes its career, from the early days of national and international ideals to local disintegration as a result of racial tensions culminating in the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. By probing the experience of the nation's seventeenth largest city, Tucker increases our understanding of municipal reform in twentieth-century America. -- Jacket
