An August exhibit at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center will highlight the stories of black police officers and firefighters in Knoxville and Knox County from 1871 to the present. "It's going to be a celebration of their hard work," said Timothy Vasser, archivist for the Beck Center. "Even though people have told them thank you, they haven't gotten their due."
