The Wilmington Public Library pays tribute to the enduring story of Paul and Alice Dunbar, prominent black poets and civic leaders, through a collection of pictures, letters, and poetry. Their story is one of love, devotion, and partnership, as well as frustration, disagreement, and estrangement. Despite their separation and Paul Laurence Dunbar's passing in 1906, Alice Dunbar-Nelson continued to be associated with her poet husband. On April 2, the library dedicates National Book Week to their memory, with a talk by Pauline A. Young, Alice Dunbar-Nelson's niece, and a reception in her honor.
