There are two 2006-2007 scrapbooks. The second one, in folder 3, includes the “Pinckney School History” by Mei Mei Montgomery and Janet Reeder written for the 75th Anniversary, celebrated on Saturday May 5, 2007. The history covers the original building built in 1872, the new building built in 1931, and various renovations over the years.

The history recounts a student-planned Langston Hughes Day on February 1, 1991. The students named the school library the Langston Hughes Library for Children in honor of the poet and author, who attended the 2nd grade at Pinckney when it was still segregated, in 1909. The dedication was accompanied by community events marking the two homes where Hughes lived with his grandparents, Charles and Mary Langston, at 732 Alabama and 731 New York, as well as placing headstones on their unmarked graves in the Oak Hill Cemetary.

The history also mentions that Janet Reeder, the school librarian, refurbished the older Pinckney scrapbooks in this collection in 2006, adding information donated by former students. She also had the art in the building appraised and restored at that time.
