description: "William Thomas Murphy of Chicago was a U.S. representative from the 3rd congressional district of Illinois. During his time in office, from 1959 to 1971, Murphy's district saw cultural and economic shifts with frequent civil rights marches and the closure of steel mills in the south of Chicago. In 1960, black minority residents made up just 20% of the population, but exceeded 40% by decade end."
