Inscription. After the war, most Tennesseans enjoyed increased prosperity brought on by wartime production. Some African Americans, however, sought in civilian life the relative equality found in the military. Memphis innovators built a motel chain and rock 'n' roll. Country music reached new popular heights, and Tennesseans were called to war in Korea.
