I think it was Martin Luther King


The first black person to receive the Nobel Peace prize was Ralph J. Bunche, who received it in 1950 for mediating the Arab-Israeli truce. Martin Luther King Junior was the second black to receive the award, which he was given in 1964 for his work in the Civil Rights Movement.

Who was the first black person to win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Ralph Bunche (1903-1971) was the first African-American to win the Nobel Peace Prize, in 1950. In 1949, Bunche successfully negotiated a truce to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
