He responded, "I'd rather teach peace." Thus began the work he has passionately pursued for the past twenty-five years'teaching courses on nonviolence, conflict management, and peace studies, to students in a range of schools, from Georgetown University Law Center, to a juvenile prison, and various high schools in between.
