OUR STORY
The Dunbar Pavilion stands as a living part of Tucson's African American history. Built as the Dunbar School in 1918, this campus served generations of African American students during segregation. Today, we honor that legacy by preserving our history and creating space for arts, business, education, civic engagement, and community connection.
