To those from UCLA who emailed me, I will be speaking tomorrow afternoon at Ralph Bunch's hall. He (Ralph Bunch, that is) was a lousy person, if you ask me. There are two good biographies of him. He was mostly silent about racial injustice, and did not mind being used as the token black member of several administrations. He was enamored with Zionism, and could not see the justice of the Palestinian position. I would not name a hall after him; not even a chair, or a table, or a toothbrush. He is a safe person to celebrate during Black History Month.
