“The story of Dunbar shows what can happen in spite of huge legal, societal, and professional hurdles. It shows what is possible when a group of people focus and band together to make something better. Dunbar shows what happens when a stable middle class exists. And Dunbar shows us that politics pollutes education”
Alison Stewart, First Class: The Legacy of Dunbar, America's First Black Public High School

“In the Deep South, the unequal distribution of school funds based on Negroes’ “mental inferiority” was one way the caste system maintained itself through the generations. “Inferior” students got inferior schools, but truly, it was the inferior schools that created the inferior students. The two years of study resulted in the book Deep South, a seminal book in modern anthropology.”
Alison Stewart, First Class: The Legacy of Dunbar, America's First Black Public High School
