Description
Portrait photograph of Dunbar Reed. Dunbar Reed earned his undergraduate degree from Wiley College in Texas and his graduate degree from Springfield College. He began his career in 1938 as a program director at the Kansas City (Mo.) YMCA.
He worked mostly in Y's that served predominantly black communities, but did not confine himself to that role. He frequently worked with the community as a whole, specializing in problem solving and volunteer development. In 1941, Reed became a branch executive at the Wichita (Kan.) YMCA.
Beginning in 1953, he served on the national staff at two area councils and then became the director of field services for the National Council. At one point, he was the highest-ranking African-American in the United States YMCA movement.
