This is a definite step in the right direction if schools were to adopt this style of educating our youth.

A Note for the Young: Dr. Ralph Bunche (pronounced Bunch) was the first African American Nobel Laureate. He was a diplomat, mediator and political scientist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950 for arranging a peace/cease fire between the Israelis and the Arabs after the recognition of Isreal as a state in 1948. Dr. Bunche went on to a distinguished career you can learn about in the documentary, "Ralph Bunche: an American Odyssey".
