Dunbar School Dedication Program, November 17, 1922, Salina, Kansas.

By 1920, when Salina became a first class city, the city’s school board voted to establish Dunbar School, an elementary school for the city’s African American students. It also served as a center of community activities for African Americans in Salina. Although the school no longer exists, Dunbar alumni continue to return to Salina for school reunions.
