In a months-long project
underwritten by the History Channel and the Universityof Southern Mississippi-Gulf Coast,
430 eighth grade students from BiloxiJunior High Schoolstudied the architecture in the
neighborhood surrounding the school, an area known as "the Holy Land" since many of its streets are named for
saints.
Below are photos from a ceremony
on May 15, 2008 at BiloxiJunior High School
auditorium, where a book by the students was unveiled.
