New Exhibit about local Dayton Poet
Paul Laurence Dunbar House
Just in time for his 150th birthday, a new exhibit, Paul Laurence Dunbar: Diamond of the Gem City, highlights the life work and legacy of the multifaceted writer. Born in Dayton in 1872, Dunbar became one of America’s greatest poets, whose work later fueled a Black literary revolution.
This exhibit puts that life in context and positions him within a community of African American activists, including Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Hallie Quinn Brown, Frederick Douglass and Brigadier General Charles Young. It also frames him not just as a hero but also as a human whose flaws help tell a complete version of our American story.
Learn more about this incredible exhibit and plan your visit below.
