Ralpha Bunche(拉尔夫·邦奇)(已逝)
1927级 第一位非裔美籍诺贝尔奖获得者 备受称赞的外交家 政治科学家
他向你证明诺贝尔奖并不是靠特权得来的
美国政治科学家、外交家Ralpha Bunche是第一位获得诺贝尔奖的有色人种。他出身低微, 13岁父母双亡,Bunche成长为一位优秀的学生和辩论家。进入UCLA,他完全融入这个只以思想而非肤色评价人的环境中。在这儿,他开始展现自己的光芒:以优等生毕业,参加田径竞赛。之后,他成为联合国一位有影响力的人物,促成了一个历史性的和平协议,这为他赢得了诺贝尔奖,也使得。升为副秘书长之后, Bunche仍在其他冲突地区调停,包括刚果、也门、克什米尔和塞浦路斯。提供一个乐观者的小小缩影:在被问到为什么一生都致力于这种看似注定失败的努力,他著名的回话是“我坚信人性本善,就是这个认知让我坚信没有什么人类关系的问题是解决不了的。”
Ralph Bunche
Class of 1927
He proved you don't have to come from privilege to be considered nobel.
American political scientist and diplomat, Ralph Bunche became the first person of color to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. From humble beginnings and the loss of his parents before he was 13, Bunche rose to become a brilliant student and debater. While attending UCLA, he was immersed in an environment that viewed people by their ideas, not the color of their skin. He flourished here-graduating Summa Cum Laude-and competed in track and field. He went on to become a powerful figure in the United Nations-brokering a historic peace accord that led to his Nobel Prize. Rising to Undersecretary General, Bunche continued mediating in other strife-torn regions, including the Congo, Yemen, Kashmir and Cyprus. The epitome of an optimist, when asked why he dedicated his life to such seemingly lost causes, he famously replied, “I believe in the essential goodness of my fellow man, which leads me to believe that no problem of human relations is ever insoluble.”
