Ralph Bunche (1950): Ralph Bunche was the first African American to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He received it for arranging a cease-fire between Israelis and Arabs during the war which followed the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. He was a social science graduate and studied colonial policy in West Africa before World War II. He joined the staff of the Swedish social scientist Gunnar Myrdal, who was studying racial segregation in the USA. In 1946, Bunche went into UN service, and in the following year Secretary-General Trygve Lie sent him to the Middle East to help devise a plan for dividing Palestine between Arabs and Jews.
