Kevin Hagan White is an American politician best known as the Mayor of Boston, a position he held from 1968 to 1984. White was educated at Tabor Academy, Williams College, Boston College Law School and the Harvard Graduate School of Public Administration. Prior to his term as Mayor of Boston, he served as Secretary of the Commonwealth from 1961 1967. White successfully ran for mayor in 1967 on a populist platform that included support for rent control. One of his slogans was "When landlords raise rents, Kevin White raises hell." Rent control became the law in Boston in 1970.
