The Chisholm Yearbook is a record of personal and collective histories of Chisholm High School Alumni. Chisholm was the beloved African American High School in New Smyrna Beach, FL before it closed for desegregation in 1969. The project (in progress) includes a website, recordings, a book and an exhibition, all to be presented at the Chisholm High reunion in July 2020. These remarkable American stories are contextualized by the changing landscape of a small town in Florida before and during the civil rights movement. The project would be impossible without the invaluable assistance of Shy Morris, Jimmy Harrell, The Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum, Atlantic Center for the Arts, and The Chisholm Alumni Association. The site is currently under construction for alumni to choose pictures.                                                                                               Lexa Walsh
