The Dunbar Theater

A 1920's theater that has been closed for years. It is in a poor neighborhood and people donated to refurbish it but it hasn't happened yet. There was a time in Wichita did not allow black people a seat in a desireable section. This movie was built and supported the black neighborhood well years ago.
