of the UN charter-one on trusteeship and the other on non-self-governing territories. For brokering an armistice between Israel and its Arab neighbors, Bunche was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950; he was the first person of color to receive this highest of honors. He also served as a United Nations mediator in Egypt, the Congo, and Yemen. Bunche was born in Detroit, Michigan, on August 7, 1904, and died in New York City on December 9, 1971. At the time of his death, he was the United Nations Under Secretary-General. Perhaps Bunche's best-known quote is taken from "That Man May Dwell in Peace", a speech from a college debate in 1926 at UCLA. What vast, undreamed of achievement might await man would he but devote his entire interest to promoting the commonweal of a universal human brotherhood. In his Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, "Some Reflections on Peace in Our Time", delivered in 1950, Bunche urged the nations to employ reason in their dealings with each other: <blockquote>The United Nations does not seek a world cut after a single pattern, nor does it consider this desirable. The United Nations seeks only unity, not uniformity, out of the world's diversity. There will be no security in our world, no release from agonizing tension, no genuine progress, no enduring peace, until, in Shelley's fine words, "reason's voice, loud as the voice of nature, shall have waked the nations."<ref>Ralph J.
