"In 1872, nine years after the Emancipation Proclamation, Joshua and Matilda Dunbar gave birth to a baby boy in Dayton, Ohio. When it came time to name the boy, Mr. Dunbar insisted the child be named Paul. His wife, who thought the name was too old-fashioned for a baby, voiced her disapproval. Mr. Dunbar quaintly replied, "Matilda Madam, don't you know that the Bible says Paul was a great man" This child will be great some day and do you honor? (Wiggins, 26). Thus, Paul Laurence Dunbar was introduced to the world."More papers on Paul Laurence Dunbar:
