The Nobel Peace Prize
Ralph Bunche Nobel Laureate for Peace 1950
King Papers
A letter from Ralph Bunche, on UN stationery, asking Dr. King and his wife to visit him on the way to the Nobel ceremony in Oslo.
During the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Mr. Bunche told supporters at the Montgomery Statehouse that the UN was with them. “In the UN, we have known from the beginning that secure foundations for peace in the world can be built only upon the principle and practice of equal rights and status for all peoples, respect and dignity for all.� Source: UN website
Compare and Contrast
Drs. Ralph Bunche and Martin Luther King led the Selma to Montgomery march. Both were planners of the March on Washington. Dr. Bunch exerted his influence in organization and in formulating policy. Dr. King was the practical organizer on the streets. African Americans did not know Dr. Bunche well; they knew Dr. King. Source: Black Collegian

Dr. Creque’s Travels
There’s something about traveling, don’t you think? It has this way of changing you. Maybe it’s that it takes you out of your comfort zone, or that everything you see and experience is new and exciting. But it seems that no matter where you go, and no matter how long you’re gone, it’s difficult to go on a trip and not come home different than you were before you left. Today we have asked some of our blogging friends to share their favorite travel stories, and talk about why it matter. They’re talking about where they went, how long they were gone, what happened to them while they traveled, and what they learned while they were away. We hope you’ll check out the links below, that you’ll find time to read them, and that they’ll resonate with you. Do you have a travel story you want to share? We want to hear from you! Submit your travel story below and we’ll select our four favorite submissions to be featured on Prodigal the rest of this week.
