Peace means no disturbance, no danger. It relates to our mental attitude. If we have a calm mind, obstacles will be less disruptive. What’s important to realize is that ultimately peace of mind is within us, it takes a warm heart and using our intelligence.

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

Three graduates of Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery are organizing a campaign to change the name of the school, as well as Jefferson Davis and Sidney Lanier schools. They are also calling for permanent removal of the statue of Lee at the school. trib.al/6HN7CVy

In many ways, the issues playing out between police and communities of color — including implicit bias and overly harsh punishment — are playing out in schools, too. @MrJeffPierre ow.ly/1Q0v50A6bTe

As a result of material development and modern education, people commonly seek happiness in external things, but neglect their minds. True, lasting happiness depends on our taming our unruly minds. This is not so much about intellectual development as cultivating a warm heart.

If we want our kids to be the best versions of themselves, then we need to be the best versions of ourselves.

Redirecting the school’s security staff budget in favor of arts education seemed like a radical idea at the time. The result? Students who struggled came to life. From 2018: ow.ly/oBvs50A1aKU

In our @MBK_Alliance town hall yesterday, I mentioned James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time. From 1962, it remains a seminal meditation on race by one of our greatest writers and relevant for understanding the pain and anger behind the protests. Excerpt: newyorker.com/magazine/1962/…
