Web site honors the life of
Walter Reuther

The memory and work of Walter P. Reuther – who would have turned 100 this year – come alive in an online exhibit produced by the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University in Detroit.

The Web site tribute –“No Greater Calling: The Life of Walter P. Reuther” – includes hundreds of photos and actual speeches online at www.reuther.wayne.edu.

Workers and history buffs alike will enjoy the site, along with teachers who will find the lesson plans for students in the fifth through eighth grades particularly useful.

Reuther, once called “the most dangerous man in Detroit,” served as UAW president from 1946 until he died in a plane crash in 1970.

“No Greater Calling” refers to a quote by Reuther: “There is no greater calling than to serve your fellow men. There is no greater contribution than to help the weak. There is no greater satisfaction than to do it well.”
