Celebrating Simms Collection: The Story of the Lucy F. Simms School
Description
An account of the resource
The first series in the Celebrating Simms Collection consists of approximately 450 items that were digitized to support the development and design of the 2016 Celebrating Simms exhibit. The series consists primarily of photographs and some historical documents related to the Effinger St. School (1882–1938); the Lucy F. Simms School (1938-1966); the Simms Reunion Committee (1982–Present); private family photographs documenting life in the Northeast Neighborhood of Harrisonburg, Virginia (1882–1966); and official photographs documenting Harrisonburg’s R4 Urban Renewal Project (1955–1964).
The Celebrating Simms Collection consists entirely of digitized materials. It is a post-custodial collection, meaning that all original materials were returned to the custody of their original owners immediately after being digitized. The individuals who shared their private collections with this project for digitization include: Doris Harper Allen, Howard Curry, Dorothy Dickerson, Twyla French, Billo Harper, Greg Johnson, Wilhelmina Johnson, Dale MacAllister, Edna Mitchell, Deanna Reed, Jennifer Vickers, and Betty Lou Winkey. Some items were also digitized for Celebrating Simms with permission from JMU Special Collections, the Massanutten Regional Library, the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society (now Rocktown History), and the Daily News-Record.

EXHIBIT HIGHLIGHTS BLACK HISTORY AT SIMMS
SCHOOL
Posted: April 21, 2016
By ERIN FLYNN

preview of an exhibit on prominent black residents of Harrisonburg at Roop Hall. The
upcoming permanent exhibit will be at the Lucy F. Simms Continuing Education Center in
Harrisonburg. (Photo by Austin Bachand / DN-R)
HARRISONBURG — History is anything but lacking throughout the halls of
the Lucy F. Simms Continuing Education Center.
Since it opened as a school for black students in 1938, hundreds of students and
community members have left their mark on the building, located at 620 Simms
Ave.
Now, much of that history is coming to life with an exhibit that illustrates 150
years of black history, beginning soon after the Civil War.
The exhibit is a yearlong project created by several James Madison University
students and their two advisers, Sean McCarthy and Mollie Godfrey. It wraps
around both sides of the center’s main hallway and will officially open on
Monday.
Remembering Lucy F. Simms
The center, formerly known as the Lucy F. Simms School, was named after a
longtime Valley educator who was born into slavery in 1855. In 1877, Simms
�graduated from the Hampton Institute and began teaching in Harrisonburg and
Rockingham County.
Throughout her teaching career, which spanned 56 years, she taught more than
1,800 students. The Lucy F. Simms School served black children until
desegregation in 1965.
The school’s building came under city control on Aug. 31, 2001. It then
underwent a two-year, $5.5 million renovation project and reopened on May 20,
2005.
Now, the Lucy F. Simms Continuing Education Center serves as a community
center. It is also the home of the Arc of Harrisonburg and Rockingham, which
supports those with disabilities, and the headquarters of the Boys & Girls Clubs of
Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.
Exhibit’s Features
The exhibit tells more than Simms’ story.
Its 59 panels and 100 photos also honor others who contributed to the school’s
history, said Robin Lyttle of the Shenandoah Valley Black Heritage Project.
“What’s so great about this exhibition is that it’s not just about Lucy F. Simms,
who we adore and love,” Lyttle said.
The exhibit, which is more than 100 feet long, is divided into six sections: early
education in Harrisonburg; Simms and her legacy; community life; the school’s
extracurricular activities; school life; and after the school became inactive.
“It really hits it all,” Lyttle said.
The exhibit, along with interactive features and videos, will be on a website,
which McCarthy said will launch next week.
Going Beyond A Textbook
With the exhibit’s creation were some challenges, one being the amount of
research required. Much history was lost after the school closed in 1964.
“It’s like going to the bottom of the ocean to find a new species, because much of
this information hasn’t been discovered,” Lyttle said.
Juniors Brett Seekford and Hannah Jones spent hours poring over information at
the Massanutten Regional Library Central Branch for the project.
�Seekford said some of the information uncovered conflicted with what
community members said happened.
“We often went with the community’s word,” he said. “It was tricky to find the
real history.”
McCarthy said the team also collected pictures from members of the community.
With that came another set of difficulties.
“There was a lot of work trying to figure out what these photographs are,” said
McCarthy, who added that the team also needed to verify each photo’s subjects.
Seekford said the project was different from anything he had done before.
“It was just a culture shock. The stuff you learn in high school I got first world
experience through this project,” Seekford said. “[Speaking with community
members] is so much different from reading a textbook.”
