Ralph Johnson Bunche was born in Detroit in 1903. He grew up surrounded by a supportive extended family that included his parents, his aunts and uncles and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Lucy Taylor Johnson, the matriarch of the family. The Johnsons were a musical family. Ralph's aunts and uncles formed The Johnson Quartette. Ralph's mother, Olive, accompanied the vocalists on the piano. The family lived in an integrated section of Detroit. In 1914, when they moved to Albuquerque, there were many Native Americans and Mexicans among Ralph's school friends, where he was one of two black students in a class of 36. Ralph did well in school, but liked to talk, a habit his teacher, Miss Emma Belle Sweet, tried to discourage by making him stand in a corner with his face to the wall or giving him a rap over the knuckles. Bunche credited Miss Sweet's geography lessons for opening up the world to him. Years later, he joined in honoring her with a "Golden Key Award" and a check for $1,000 "for lifetime dedication to children." Ralph's mother, Olive, wrote poems which were published in the local paper. The money allowed her to take Ralph to the occasional movie.

Bunche, Ralph Ralph Johnson Bunche (August 7, 1904-1971) was born in Detroit, Michigan. His father, Fred Bunche, was a barber in a shop having a clientele of whites only; his mother, Olive (Johnson) Bunche, was an amateur musician; his grandmother, «Nana» Johnson, who lived with the family, had been born into slavery. When Bunche was ten years old, the family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the hope that the poor health of his parents would improve in the dry climate. Both, however, died two years later. His grandmother, an indomitable woman who appeared Caucasian «on the outside» but was «all black fervor inside», took Ralph and his two sisters to live in Los Angeles. Here Ralph contributed to the family's hard pressed finances by selling newspapers, serving as house boy for a movie actor, working for a carpet-laying firm, and doing what odd jobs he could find. His intellectual brilliance appeared early. He won a prize in history and another in English upon completion of his elementary school work and was the valedictorian of his graduating class at Jefferson High School in Los Angeles, where he had been a debater and all-around athlete who competed in football, basketball, baseball, and track. At the University of California at Los Angeles he supported himself with an athletic scholarship, which paid for his collegiate expenses, and with a janitorial job, which paid for his personal expenses. He played varsity basketball on championship teams, was active in debate and campus journalism, and was graduated in 1927, summa cum laude, valedictorian of his class, with a major in international relations.
