Abstract
Lucy F. Simms was an educator who made the improbable possible for thousands of Black students in Virginia at the turn of the twentieth century, but she remains almost entirely unmapped in academic histories. This essay describes a community-university-K-12 partnership that produced a permanent exhibit and companion website that preserves Simms’ story, the school named in her honor, and the men and women whose lives were transformed by that space. It also explores the vitality of local spaces to the recovery of Black women’s lives and the value of digital and physical modalities in biographical and archival recovery projects.
