Henry Loeb
Henry Loeb III (December 9, 1920 – September 8, 1992) was an American politician of the Democratic party, who was mayor of Memphis, Tennessee for two separate terms in the 1960s, from 1960 through 1963, and 1968 through 1971. He gained national notoriety in his second term for his role in opposing the demands of striking sanitation workers in early 1968. ==Background== Loeb's grandparents were Jewish Germans who migrated from Germany to Memphis in the 1860s. "His grandfather, Henry Loeb, founded Loeb's Laundry." Loeb was born in 1920. He attended Phillips Academy in Massachusetts and then Brown University in Rhode Island. He then served on a patrol boat in World War II. After the war, he gained popularity with the white middle class through appeals to his military service and through opposition to communism. Loeb was Memphis's Public Works commissioner from 1956 to 1960. In 1959, he called for a "white unity" electoral ticket to oppose the increasingly organized black vote in Memphis. He was re-elected to a second term in November 1967. Loeb converted to Episcopalianism immediately after he started his second term as Mayor of Memphis on New Years Day, 1968.〔http://forward.com/articles/9864/king-s-last-message/〕
