Ralph Bunche, the first black Nobel laureate (for Peace in 1950), was one of this century's pre-eminent African-American intellectual and political leaders. Charles P. Henry, author of Ralph Bunche: Redefining the American Other and editor of Ralph J. Bunche Selected Speeches and Writings, covers five decades of Bunche's remarkable influence as the first black American to receive a doctorate in Political Science, a co-founder of the National Negro Congress, and undersecretary-general of the United Nations whose passion for peace and civil rights never faltered.
