518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 2001. 
520    Dr. Ralph Johnson Bunche (1903-1971) was a statesman, 
       peace negotiator, leading intellectual and scholar, and 
       the first person of color to win the Nobel Peace Prize. An
       African American who overcame racial prejudice and poverty
       to become Undersecretary General of the United Nations, 
       Bunche's life offers a unique window on many key issues 
       and historical events that took place during the middle of
       the 20th century. This award-winning two-hour documentary 
       film, narrated by Sidney Poitier, tells the story of his 
       life and times. Bunche was a political scientist, educator
       and civil rights activist during the 1930s. He played a 
       key role in the founding of the United Nations in San 
       Francisco in 1946. In 1949, he successfully mediated four 
       Middle East Armistice agreements for which he received the
       1950 Nobel Peace Prize. Bunche devoted the last 25 years 
       of his life to the United Nations, working in the areas of
       de-colonization and international peacekeeping. "Ralph 
       Bunche's historic life and extraordinary achievements are 
       wonderfully documented in this film. I enthusiastically 
       recommend it." - Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard 
       University "A stunning film on the career of super 
       diplomat Ralph Bunche is readily winning a place among the
       great screen biographies." - Erik Barnouw "This superb 
       documentary brings long overdue attention to a major 
       historical figure. A highly recommended purchase for high 
       school and public libraries." - School Library Journal "We
       should restore Bunche's reputation not so much for his 
       sake as for our own. His fall from prominence is tragic, 
       but the loss is much more ours than his." - Arnold 
       Rampersad, Dean of Humanities, Stanford University.
