Myron Lowery is an American politician who served as the Mayor Pro Tem of Memphis, Tennessee, from July 31, 2009 to October 26, 2009.
He ran for Mayor of Memphis in a special election held on October 15, 2009, losing to A C Wharton.
Lowery's tenure as Mayor Pro Tem was marked by attempts to remove officials from Herenton's controversial prior administration and efforts at transparency in government.
In September 2009, Lowery greeted visiting Tibetan Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama, with a fist bump, which garnered brief national news coverage.
In July 2015, Lowery moved to unearth the remains of Civil War general and Ku Klux Klan's first Grand Wizard Nathan Bedford Forest and his wife and have his memorial removed because: "It is no longer politically correct to glorify someone who was a slave trader, someone who was a racist, on public property."
