Dunham School of Dance and Theatre: Prospectus, c. 1940s

Dunham--School--Dance--Theatre

This prospectus details Dunham's development of a "full-fledged inter-racial school of the dance an theatre arts." She has recruited 15 teachers and 225 students, with the hopes of fostering "a future that holds much promise" by serving as "the only Negro ballet company in the world." This document asks for financial assistance, given that the funds have mostly come from Dunham's personal income up to this point.
