Police departments across the nation must develop nonviolent 'rules of engagement,' so that they don't reflexively respond to suspected crimes with violence.

My father provided some very important guidance in how we deal with conflict and polarization.

After acknowledging that most law enforcement personnel are fair-minded and do a difficult job, it only takes one exception to create a terrible tragedy.

Among her many accomplishments, my mother is often identified as the leader of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday movement.

I always imagine a good leader is surrounded by people who call their mothers at the end of the day and tell them, 'Mom, you can't believe what I did today. Let me tell you about it.'

Never forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity.
