  • Ralph Bunche House Designation Report
    Landmarks Preservation Commission May 17, 2005, Designation List 363 LP-2175 RALPH BUNCHE HOUSE, 115-24 Grosvenor Road, Kew Gardens, Queens. Built, 1927; Architects, Koch & Wagner. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax Map Block 3319, Lot 18. On May 17, 2005, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Ralph Bunche House and its related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were five speakers in favor of designation, including Dr. Benjamin Rivlin, Chairman Emeritus of the Ralph Bunche Institute, Marjorie Tivin representing the New York City Commission to the United Nations, the Chair of the Community Board 9, and representatives of the Landmarks Conservancy and the Historic Districts Council. Three representatives of the Kew Gardens Civic Association spoke in opposition to designation because they wanted the entire Kew Gardens area designated as an historic district rather than just one building. The owner of the building said he was “ambivalent” about designation, because it was already a National Historic Landmark. Summary Dr. Ralph Bunche and his family lived for more than thirty years in a neo-Tudor style residence constructed in 1927 and designed by the prominent Brooklyn architects Koch & Wagner, located in Kew Gardens, Queens. Bunche had an illustrious career in academia, international service and diplomacy, which included the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950 for his role in negotiating armistice settlements between Israel and its Arab neighbors. He helped found, and then worked for the United Nations, first as head of its Trusteeship Division, later as advisor to three different Sectretaries-General.

  • To the Teacher
    TEACHER’S GUIDE & RESOURCE MATERIALS To the teacher This Teacher’s Guide to Ralph Bunche, the odyssey continues… has been designed by curriculum specialists with the classroom teacher in mind. We hope you will find it easy to use and that it will help to make teaching with the video series an exciting and very important learning experience for your students. Like the award-winning PBS special, Ralph Bunche: An American Odyssey, on which it is based, the series presents an informative and issue-oriented story that will stimulate discussion about a number of important concepts in 20th century United States and world history, concepts that continue to exert an influence on developments taking place in America and the world today. However, we think you will find the modular format of the 12-part video series especially curriculum-friendly. You have the choice of integrating one or more modules into your program or developing a course of study around the entire series. In either case, the Guide offers ideas and suggestions to support your use of the modules as teaching tools. As a teacher concerned about meeting curriculum standards, you will be interested to know that the Guide includes a convenient Chart of Concordance correlating each module to standards developed by the National Council for the Social Studies and the National Center for History in the Schools, specifically for high school Social Stud- ies, History, Geography and Civics. Moreover, the modules are equally well suited for the in-depth learning required in advanced placement courses in history and inter- national studies.
