During the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1878, more than 5,000 people were listed in the official register of deaths between July 26 and November 27. The vast majority died of yellow fever, making the epidemic in the city of 40,000 one of the most traumatic and severe in urban U.S. history. Within four days of the Memphis Board of Health's declaration of a yellow fever outbreak, 20,000 residents fled the city. The ensuing panic left the poverty-stricken, the working classes, and the African-American community at the most risk from the epidemic. Those who remained relied on volunteers from religious and physician organizations to tend to the sick. By the end of the year, more than 5,000 were confirmed dead in Memphis. The New Orleans health board listed "not less than 4,600" dead. The Mississippi Valley recorded 120,000 cases of yellow fever, with 20,000 deaths. The $15 million in losses caused by the epidemic bankrupted Memphis, and as a result, its charter was revoked by the state legislature. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:AmCyc_Memphis_(Tennessee).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/AmCyc_Memphis_%28Tennessee%29.jpg/220px-AmCyc_Memphis_%28Tennessee%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="126" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/AmCyc_Memphis_%28Tennessee%29.jpg/330px-AmCyc_Memphis_%28Tennessee%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/AmCyc_Memphis_%28Tennessee%29.jpg/440px-AmCyc_Memphis_%28Tennessee%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2299" data-file-height="1315" /></a><figcaption>Woodcut representing the waterfront of Memphis, <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1879</figcaption></figure> By 1870, Memphis's population of 40,000 was almost double that of Nashville and Atlanta, and it was the second-largest city in the South after New Orleans.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> Its population continued to grow after 1870, even when the <a href="/wiki/Panic_of_1873" title="Panic of 1873">Panic of 1873</a> hit the US hard, particularly in the South. The Panic of 1873 resulted in expanding Memphis's underclasses amid the poverty and hardship it wrought, giving further credence to Memphis as a rough, shiftless city. Leading up to the outbreak in 1878, it had suffered two yellow fever epidemics, <a href="/wiki/Cholera" title="Cholera">cholera</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Malaria" title="Malaria">malaria</a>, giving it a reputation as sickly and filthy. It was unheard of for a city with a population as large as Memphis's not to have any waterworks; the city still relied for supplies entirely on collecting water from the river and rain cisterns, and had no way to remove sewage.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> The combination of a swelling population, especially of lower and working classes, and abysmal health and sanitary conditions made Memphis ripe for a serious epidemic. Kate Bionda, an owner of an Italian "snack house", died of a fever on August 13, 1878.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> Hers was officially reported by the Board of Health, on August 14, as the first case of yellow fever in the city.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> A massive panic ensued. The same trains and steamboats that had brought thousands into Memphis, in five days carried away more than 25,000 refugees, more than half of the city's population.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> On August 23, the Board of Health finally declared a yellow fever epidemic in Memphis, and the city collapsed, hemorrhaging its population. In July of that year, the city had a population of 47,000; by September, 19,000 remained, and 17,000 of them had yellow fever.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> The only people left in the city were the lower classes, such as German and Irish immigrant workers and African Americans. None had the means to flee the city, as did the middle and upper-class whites of Memphis, and thus they were subjected to a city of death. Immediately following the Board of Health's declaration, a Citizen's Relief Committee was formed by Charles G. Fisher. It organized the city into refugee camps. The committee's main priority was to separate the poor from the city and isolate them in refugee camps.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> The Howard Association, formed specifically for yellow fever epidemics in New Orleans and Memphis, organized nurses and doctors in Memphis and throughout the country.<a href="#cite_note-Hicks,_Mildred_1964-35">[35]</a> They stayed at the <a href="/wiki/Peabody_Hotel" title="Peabody Hotel">Peabody Hotel</a>, the only hotel to keep its doors open during the epidemic. From there they were assigned to their respective districts. Physicians of the epidemic reported seeing as many as 100 to 150 patients daily.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> The Episcopal Community of St. Mary at St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> played an important role during the epidemic in caring for the lower classes. Already supporting a girls' school and church orphanage, the Sisters of St. Mary also sought to provide care for the Canfield Asylum, a home for black children. Each day, they alternated caring for the orphans at St. Mary's, delivering children to the Canfield Asylum, and taking soup and medicine on house calls to patients.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> Between September 9 and October 4, Sister Constance and three other nuns fell victim to the epidemic and died. They later became known as the Martyrs of Memphis.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> At long last, on October 28, a killing frost struck. The city sent out word to Memphians scattered all over the country to come home. Though yellow fever cases were recorded in the pages of Elmwood Cemetery's burial record as late as February 29, 1874, the epidemic seemed quieted.<a href="#cite_note-Crosby,_Molly_Caldwell_2006-34">[34]</a> The Board of Health declared the epidemic at an end after it had caused over 20,000 deaths and financial losses of nearly $200 million.<a href="#cite_note-Ellis,_John_H_1992-38">[38]</a> On November 27, a general citizen's meeting was called at the Greenlaw Opera House to offer thanks to those who had stayed behind to serve, of whom many had died. Over the next year property tax revenues collapsed, and the city could not make payments on its municipal debts. As a result, Memphis temporarily lost its city charter and was reclassified by the state legislature as a Taxing District from 1878 to 1893.<a href="#cite_note-Hicks,_Mildred_1964-35">[35]</a> But a new era of sanitation was developed in the city, a new municipal government in 1879 helped form the first regional health organization, and during the 1880s Memphis led the nation in sanitary reform and improvements.<a href="#cite_note-Ellis,_John_H_1992-38">[38]</a> Perhaps the most significant effect of yellow fever on Memphis was in demographic changes. Nearly all of Memphis's upper and middle classes vanished, depriving the city of its general leadership and class structure that dictated everyday life, similar to that in other large Southern cities, such as <a href="/wiki/New_Orleans" title="New Orleans">New Orleans</a>, <a href="/wiki/Charleston,_South_Carolina" title="Charleston, South Carolina">Charleston, South Carolina</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Atlanta,_Georgia" class="mw-redirect" title="Atlanta, Georgia">Atlanta, Georgia</a>. In Memphis, the poorer whites and blacks fundamentally made up the city and played the greatest role in rebuilding it.

Their drive for better pay had been met with resistance by the city government. <a href="/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr." title="Martin Luther King Jr.">Martin Luther King Jr.</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Southern_Christian_Leadership_Conference" title="Southern Christian Leadership Conference">Southern Christian Leadership Conference</a>, known for his leadership in the non-violent movement, came to lend his support to the workers' cause.

After learning of King's murder, many African Americans in the city rioted, looting and destroying businesses and other facilities, some by arson. The governor ordered Tennessee National Guardsmen into the city within hours, where small, roving bands of rioters continued to be active.<a href="#cite_note-lentz-48">[48]</a> Fearing the violence, more of the middle-class began to leave the city for the suburbs. In 1970, the Census Bureau reported Memphis's population as 60.8% white and 38.9% black.<a href="#cite_note-census1-49">[49]</a> Suburbanization was attracting wealthier residents to newer housing outside the city.

Following passage of the <a href="/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act_of_1965" title="Voting Rights Act of 1965">Voting Rights Act of 1965</a>, civil rights activists challenged the at-large electoral system in court because it made it more difficult for the minority to elect candidates of their choice; at-large voting favored candidates who could command a majority across the city. In 1995, the city adopted a new plan. The 13 Council positions are elected from nine geographic districts: seven are single-member districts and two elect three members each. <a href="/wiki/Paul_Young_(Tennessee_politician)" class="mw-redirect" title="Paul Young (Tennessee politician)">Paul Young</a>, a Democrat, is the city's mayor. He took office on January 1, 2024.<a href="#cite_note-144">[141]</a> Since the late 20th century, regional discussions have recurred on the concept of consolidating unincorporated <a href="/wiki/Shelby_County,_Tennessee" title="Shelby County, Tennessee">Shelby County</a> and Memphis into a <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_government" class="mw-redirect" title="Metropolitan government">metropolitan government</a>, as Nashville-Davidson County did in 1963. Consolidation was a referendum item on the 2010 ballots in both the city of Memphis and Shelby County, under the state law for dual-voting on such measures. The referendum was controversial in both jurisdictions. Black leaders, including then-Shelby County Commissioner <a href="/w/index.php?title=Joe_Ford_(politician)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Joe Ford (politician) (page does not exist)">Joe Ford</a> and national civil rights leader <a href="/wiki/Al_Sharpton" title="Al Sharpton">Al Sharpton</a>, opposed the consolidation. According to the plaintiffs' expert, Marcus Pohlmann, these leaders "tried to turn that referendum into a civil rights issue, suggesting that for blacks to vote for consolidation was to give up hard-won civil rights victories of the past".<a href="#cite_note-consvote-145">[142]</a> In October 2010 before the vote, eight Shelby County citizens had filed a lawsuit in federal court against the state and the Shelby County Elections Commission against the dual-voting requirement. Plaintiffs argued that total votes for the referendum should have been counted together, rather than as separate elections. City voters narrowly supported the measure for consolidation with 50.8% in favor; county voters overwhelmingly voted against the measure with 85% against.<a href="#cite_note-dismiss-146">[143]</a> The state argued that with the election decided, the lawsuit should be dismissed, but the federal court disagreed.<a href="#cite_note-consvote-145">[142]</a> By late 2013, in pre-trial actions, both sides were trying to disqualify the other's experts, in discussions of whether regional voting revealed racial polarization, and whether voting on the referendum demonstrated racial bloc voting. "The experts for both sides have clashed on whether racial bloc voting is inevitable in local elections and whether that would require some kind of court remedy."<a href="#cite_note-consvote-145">[142]</a> The defendants' expert, Todd Donovan, did not think that polarized voting as revealed for political candidates meant that "African-American voters and white voters have polarized interests when it comes to referendum choices on government administration, taxation, service provision and other policy questions."<a href="#cite_note-consvote-145">[142]</a> He noted, "In the absence of distinct political interests that create polarized blocs of referendum voters defined by race, there is no cohesive racial minority voting interest that can be diluted by a referendum."<a href="#cite_note-consvote-145">[142]</a> In 2014, the federal district court dismissed the lawsuit, on the grounds that the referendum would have failed when both jurisdictions' votes were counted together. (In total voting, 64% of voters opposed the consolidation.) In the last week of December 2014, the U.S. Sixth District Court of Appeals upheld that decision, ruling that, ""In this election, the referendum for consolidation did not pass and would not have passed even if there had been no dual-majority vote requirement (with the vote counts combined)."<a href="#cite_note-dismiss-146">[143]</a> Before the referendum, the decision was made by the city and county to exclude public school management and operations from the proposed consolidation. As noted below, in 2011 the Memphis city council voted to dissolve its city school board and consolidate with the Shelby County School System, without the collaboration or agreement of Shelby County.<a href="#cite_note-school-147">[144]</a> The city had authority for this action under Tennessee state laws that differentiate between city and county powers. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Education">Education</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Memphis,_Tennessee&action=edit&section=34" title="Edit section: Education">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Education_in_Memphis,_Tennessee" title="Education in Memphis, Tennessee">Education in Memphis, Tennessee</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Nurses.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Nurses.gif/220px-Nurses.gif" decoding="async" width="220" height="155" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Nurses.gif 1.5x" data-file-width="275" data-file-height="194" /></a><figcaption>Early nursing class in Memphis</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Primary_and_secondary">Primary and secondary</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Memphis,_Tennessee&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Primary and secondary">edit</a>]</div> The city is served by <a href="/wiki/Shelby_County_Schools_(Tennessee)" class="mw-redirect" title="Shelby County Schools (Tennessee)">Memphis-Shelby County Schools</a> (formerly Shelby County Schools).
