The Black population in Pima County is small: 3.5 percent of a million-plus population across 9,189 miles small. It’s been around since the establishment of Tucson and the settlements in the Catalina Foothills just north of the city. The Dunbar neighborhood, home to the historic Dunbar School and now host of an ever-blossoming cultural center, was one of two neighborhoods in Tucson where Black residents were allowed to own property in the early days of the city’s existence. Its tendency to flood and distance from the University of Arizona left it less than desirable to other residents.
