Calling on Our Carver Elders (Wildcats): Help Us Remember Their Names

​

For many years, during each all-class reunion, it has been a treasured tradition for every graduating class to take a group photo. Today, the Dunbar-Carver Museum holds more than 30 of these photographs—each one capturing a moment in time, a memory of friendship, pride, and shared accomplishment.

​

But there’s something missing: the names.

​

As time passes, these faces—familiar to so many of you—risk becoming unknown to future generations. When our grandchildren and great-grandchildren visit the Reunion Room at the Museum, they will look at these photos and ask, Who are these people? Is that my grandmother? My great-uncle? Many of us know that feeling—looking at an old photo, knowing someone we love is in it, but unsure who they are.

​

You have the gift of memory. And you have the power to help us preserve these stories.

​

Please take a few moments to look through the class photos you recognize. If you see a familiar face, simply enter the number and name of the person you know, then click “submit.” The form will reset so you can continue adding names, one by one.

​

With your help, we can ensure that these photographs are more than images—they can become living history. One name at a time. One face at a time.

​

We thank you, and so will the generations to come.
