Dr. Ralph Bunche: Celebrate the Little-Known Black Americans

Album Description

History has many heroes but there are some that are often overlooked. I wanted to share with you a person that I believe deserves some recognition for his dedication and diplomatic abilities that helped shape our world and has an impact across the world, Dr. Ralph Bunche. After doing some research I hope you will share this great First African American Nobel Peace Prize winning man with the students in your classroom.
