RALPH BUNCH


Seeking justice and harmony among races and nations was Ralph Bunche’s passion in life. The son of a barber, he was born 100 years ago last August in Detroit. “My childhood days were poor days,” Bunche later wrote, but he remembered fondly “hitching my sled in winter onto the tailgates of horse drawn beer trucks; swimming on Belle Isle in the summer . . .
