During the preservation of the Modjeska Monteith Simkins House, Bruce worked with Matthew J. Bruccoli, co-owner of the Bruccoli Clark Laymon publishing company along with Richard Laymon, to have a portrait of Simkins created directly from the glass negative plates found under the Richard Samuel Roberts house in Columbia. Bruccoli Clark Laymon had published A True Likeness: The Black South of Richard Samuel Roberts 1920-1936, in 1986. The book contained photographs, including the photo of Simkins, from glass negatives discovered through the work of University of South Carolina South Caroliniana Library field archivist Thomas L. Johnson with the cooperation of the Roberts family. A True Likeness won Johnson and co-author Philip C. Dunn the 1987 Lillian Smith Book Award.{{Cite web |title=A new likeness |url=https://sc.edu/uofsc/posts/2020/01/richard-samuel-roberts-a-new-likeness.php |access-date=2025-03-19 |website=University of South Carolina |language=en}} The portrait was displayed in the Simkins House.Fleming Bruce, Catherine (October 12, 2019).
