Archer Blood
Archer Kent Blood (March 20, 1923 – September 3, 2004) was an American career diplomat. He served as the last American Consul General to Dhaka, Bangladesh (East Pakistan at the time). He is famous for sending the strongly worded "Blood Telegram" protesting against the atrocities committed in the Bangladesh Liberation War.
==Biography==
Archer Blood was born in Chicago. He graduated from high school in Lynchburg, Virginia and a bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia in 1943. He also received a master's degree in international relations from George Washington University in 1963. He served in the U.S. Navy in the North Pacific in World War II. He joined the Foreign Service in 1947. Blood arrived in Dhaka, East Pakistan as U.S. consul general in 1970. Blood also served in Greece, Algeria, Germany, Afghanistan and ended his career as charge d'affaires of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India, retiring in 1982.
Blood died of arterial sclerosis on September 3, 2004 in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he had been living since 1993. "When Archer K. Blood died last month, in retirement in Colorado, there was family, a few old friends and an entire nation to mourn his passing, but the nation that grieved for him was not his own. It was Bangladesh."〔(Rest in peace Archer Blood, American hero ) November 03, 2004〕 His death made headlines in Bangladesh, but was lucky to make it to the back pages of the obituary sections in American newspapers. Bangladesh sent a delegation to the funeral in Fort Collins and Mrs. Blood received numerous communiques from Bangladeshis on the occasion of Mr. Blood's death. His contribution in granting moral contours of American diplomacy in 1971 was acknowledged by ''Washington Post'' in the eulogy to Archer Blood in its columns.
In May 2005, Blood was posthumously awarded the Outstanding Services Award by the Bangladeshi-American Foundation, Inc. (BAFI) at the First Bangladeshi-American Convention.〔(Bangladeshi-American Foundation, Inc )〕 Mr. Blood received this Award for his role in 1970 and 1971 for the cause of humanity and his brave stance against the US official policy while the Pakistan army was engaged in a genocidal mission in what is now Bangladesh. His son, Peter Blood, accepted the award on behalf of the family. This was followed on December 13, 2005, by the dedication of the American Center Library, U.S. Embassy Dhaka, in the name of Archer K. Blood. Present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony were Chargé d'Affaires Judith Chammas, Mrs. Margaret Blood and her children, Shireen Updegraff and Peter Blood.
