A List of Dunbar-Amherst Men, Classes of 1892 through 1961
Based on my research, I believe all of the men below attended both Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C. and Amherst College in Massachusetts. I hope one day, I (or a future scholar) could create data visualizations for this project. In the future, it would also be ideal to verify which ones did or did not graduate. My findings suggest that only three from this list may not have graduated (*) but there may be others. I used a ??? for an alumnus that still needs to be verified as a Dunbar-Amherst man.
Feel free to the view the spreadsheet I used to collect and organize these individuals and their information throughout the semester. Please excuse any disorganization!
