OUR STORY

The Dunbar Pavilion stands as a living part of Tucson’s African American history. Originally established as the Dunbar School in 1913, this campus served generations of Black students during segregation. Today, we honor that legacy by preserving our history and creating space for arts, business, education, civic engagement, and community connection.
