The life of labor activist Bernie Firestone is captured in an exhibit titled "Bernard J. Firestone: Joy in Solidarity," currently at the Walter P. Reuther Library on Wayne State's main campus. Wayne State archivist Kristen Chinery spent four months putting the exhibit together with the help of Firestone's widow Charlene and daughter Nita. "I want this exhibit to inspire people and show them that one person really can make a difference, because he did." Chinery said. "He changed the lives of so many people in the community and in the labor movement. He was relentless in his pursuit of equality and justice."
