Dr. Willumson’s Exhibition Seminar students assisted the Lincoln High School alumni in memorializing Gainesville’s African-American high school. LHS was Gainesville’s segregated African-American school until a court order forced the integration of Gainesville schools. Shut down by the school board in the middle of the year, LHS’s students were bused to Gainesville HS. Three years later, the building that was LHS re-opened as Lincoln Middle School. To ensure the memory of their school is never forgotten, the group of museum studies students worked with LHS Alumni Committee to design the interior and exhibition space of the Memorial Room at Lincoln Middle.

The heart of I____LOCAL rests on identifying qualities that encourage and strengthen a community — individuals working together exchanging stories, unique perspectives, and valuable experiences with one-another in a single locality. The diversity and variety of individual histories and knowledges has the power to connect citizens to each-other and empowers the individual as well as enrich the community.
Our mission is to foster a community that embraces shared exchanges and citizens’ diverse backgrounds. Through interactive photo booth and user-generated advice, I____LOCAL provides opportunity for people to contribute distinct experience and create a community from the ground-up. The collection becomes a range of local tips supplied by a diverse collection of local people.
I____LOCAL was created in the Fall 2010 by a diverse group of graduate students in the Graphic Design MFA program in the School of art + art history at UF.
