    A photograph of Paul Laurence Dunbar. A famous writer and poet—he began the Dayton Tattler early in his career, a weekly that was oriented toward the city’s African American community. He hired the Wright brothers to print it, but only three issues were published. The Wright brothers also published some of Dunbar’s early poetry in their news publications.
