There’s a family story that my husband’s great grandfather was in the same High School class in Dayton as Dunbar. Neither one was part of the “in crowd” as he put it. At one point, the other students egged them both on to fight one another & they had no choice but to comply though neither one wanted to fight. No one knows the outcome but it must have been humiliating. My husband told me that there exists “a famous picture” from which his great grandfather was absent due to illness, but that his gf’s twin sister was present that day. It must be the photo you posted because my husband picked out his great great aunt in half a second & confidently told me her brother is missing. He was considered “sickly” and he and Dunbar must have been easy targets. Thank you for expanding our appreciation of Paul Lawrence Dunbar!!
