OUR HONOREE, FAIROLYN LIVINGSTON
Fairolyn Livingston was born on the west side of Winter Park. She graduated from Hungerford High School in Eatonville and received a Bachelor of Arts from Rollins College. As the Heritage Center's chief historian, she uses her extensive research to enhance the permanent collection, conducting interviews and writing text for current and past exhibits, including the center's unique timeline installation, which juxtaposes significant events in local and national African American History.She also is a founding member of the Heritage Collection Team, a small group of documentarians, scholars, and residents who in 2002 established The Heritage Collection: Photographs and Oral Histories of West Winter Park, a museum-quality, award-winning documentary about the residents and history of Hannibal Square that has been on permanent display at the center since its establishment in 2007.
After serving as one of the Heritage Center's first managers, Fairolyn now devotes her time to the ongoing expansion of the Hannibal Square Hertiage Center's permanent collection, which recently included The Heritage Collection Phase IX: Hannibal Square Heroes (2017) and two phases of The Sage Project: Hannibal Square Elders Tell Their Stories (2012, 2019).
She has received numerous awards and has shared the community's rich vibrant history with numerous audiences. In 2018 Winter Park magazine featured Livingston as one of the city's "Ten Most Influential" for her contributions to preserving and understanding Central Florida's history.
