Celebrating Dunbar’s Legacy
Dunbar School opened in 1922 after the Salina Board of Education created a separate school for Black children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Before then, Salina schools had been integrated. Students graced its halls until 1955, when the school closed. The Dunbar Reunion Committee worked with the Museum to develop a pop-up panel exhibit about the school, its faculty and its alumni. Celebrating Dunbar’s Legacy will remain on exhibit through June in the Museum lobby.
