Order an ImageThis photograph shows Dr. Ralph J. Bunche (left) at the speaker's table at the Chamber of Commerce with an unidentified man. His autograph on the print reads: 'To Al, in appreciation of excellent photography, Ralph J. Bunche.'
Bunche was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work as a United Nations mediator in Palestine during the 1948 conflict between the Arabs and Jews and was the first African American to receive that prize. Dr. Bunche (1904-1971) said mediators "should be biased against suspicion, intolerance, hate, religious and racial bigotry."
