Dec. 9, 1971, New York, N.Y.), U.S. diplomat, a key member of the United Nations for more than two decades, and winner of the 1950 Nobel Prize for Peace for his successful negotiation of an Arab-Israeli truce in Palestine the previous year. Earning graduate degrees in government and international relations at Harvard University (1928, 1934), Bunche joined the faculty of Howard University, Washington, D.C., where he set up a department of political science. Meanwhile, he traveled through French West Africa on a Rosenwald field fellowship, studying the administration of French Togoland, a mandated area, and Dahomey, a colony. He later did postdoctoral research at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., and at the London School of Economics before returning to Africa for further studies in colonial policy. Between 1938 and 1940 he collaborated with Gunnar Myrdal, the Swedish sociologist, in the monumental study of U.S. race relations, published as An American Dilemma in 1944.

Home Welcome Nobel Bunche Ralph Bunche was a pioneer Bruin; he attended UCLA at the original Vermont Avenue campus. Bunche Hall, one of the most striking buildings on the Westwood campus, was named in his honor. Ralph Bunche 1950 Nobel Peace Prize Born August 7, 1904; died December 9, 1971 "If you want to get an idea across," said Ralph Bunche, "wrap it up in a person." Such was the essence of the man; he conveyed ideas that influenced history. After serving in the U.S. War Department and State Department during World War II, Bunche was active in the preliminary planning of the United Nations. He joined the permanent U.N. Secretariat in New York in 1947. The next year he was unexpectedly thrust into the role of brokering a truce between warring Arabs and Jews in the Middle East when the chief mediator was assassinated. For his success in negotiating a peaceful settlement, Bunche received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950. Bunche was born in 1904 in Detroit, Mich. After receiving his degree from UCLA, he earned graduate degrees in government and international relations at Harvard. But it was to UCLA — a school to which he initially was reluctant to apply but did so at the insistence of his grandmother — that Bunche would ascribe much of his future success.

10. Ralph Bunche | The Peacemaker | Winning The Nobel Peace Prize of the United Nations, all peoples must have equality and equal rights. RalphBunche, nobel Peace Prize lecture, Oslo University, Norway, December 11, 1950. http://www.pbs.org/ralphbunche/peace_nobel.html

In Bunche was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace for his successful mediation of a series of armistice agreements between the new nation of Israel and four Arab neighbors, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. It was the first, and to date it remains the only, time that all the parties to the Middle East conflict signed armistice agreements with Israel. In being awarded the Peace Prize, Bunche became the first person of color in the world to be so honored. (Other notable contenders for the prize that year included Winston Churchill, Harry S. Truman, Albert Schweitzer and George C. Marshall.) "The United Nations exists not merely to preserve the peace but also to make change even radical change possible without violent upheaval. The United Nations has no vested interests in the status quo. It seeks a more secure world, a better world, a world of progress for all peoples. In the dynamic world society which is the objective of the United Nations, all peoples must have equality and equal rights." -Ralph Bunche, Nobel Peace Prize lecture, Oslo University, Norway, December 11, 1950

Nevertheless, he became the highest ranking black American in the United Nations. Bunche traces his mother's family history back to slavery. His greatgrandfather, James H. Johnson, was a Baptist preacher from Virginia who married Eleanor Madden, the daughter of a house slave and an Irish Catholic planter. James and Eleanor had 11 childrensix sons and five daughters. Thomas Nelson Johnson, their youngest son, was Ralph Bunche's grandfather, a teacher who graduated from Shurtleff College in Alton in 1875. One of his students was Lucy A. Taylor from Sedalia, Missouri, born March 10, 1855. The daughter of a house slave and an Irish planter, she married Thomas Nelson Johnson on September 8, 1875. Lucy and Thomas Johnson's second child, Olive, was Ralph Bunche's mother. She was born in Kansas on April 3, 1882. In 1890 Thomas suffered an attack of malaria which killed him, and Lucy Johnson, with no job and five children, sold everything in order to have enough money to return to Alton, Illinois. In 1900 Lucy Johnson moved her family from Alton to Detroit into a white house with green shutters and a large front porch. This is the house where Ralph Bunche was born.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History BUNCHE, RALPH , scholar, statesman, and U.N. under secretary general. Bunche was the first black person to win the Nobel Peace Prize, awarded in 1950. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Bunche and his sister were orphaned in 1915 and were reared by their grandmother in Los Angeles. A brilliant, industrious student, Bunche graduated from Jefferson High School in 1922 as class valedictorian but was barred from the honor society because of his race. He would be reminded of this insult years later when the West Side Tennis Club in New York denied membership to him and his son. After he lodged a complaint, the club relented because of his international prominence. He refused to join the club, however, because its exception was based on his personal prestige rather than on the principle of racial equality. Bunche noted that "no Negro American can be free from the disabilities of race . . . until the lowliest Negro ... is no longer disadvantaged because of his race." In 1927 Bunche graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, where he had excelled both in and outside the classroom. He wrote for the school newspaper, won oratorical contests, was sports editor of the yearbook, played guard for three years on the basketball team, and became Phi Beta Kappa. He then entered Harvard University, where in 1934 he became the first African-American to earn a Ph.D. in government and international relations. While completing his doctoral studies, Bunche joined the faculty at Howard University, where he established and chaired the political science department and served as special assistant to Howard's president. He organized the Joint Committee on National Recovery to lobby Congress for black participation in New Deal programs and to fight against racial discrimination in New Deal agencies. He also helped form the National Negro Congress to arouse blacks to work for social and economic progress and to unite black and white workers.
