Give Us Our Peace

Give us a peace equal to the war
Or else our souls will be unsatisfied,
And we will wonder what we have fought for
And why the many died.

Give us a peace accepting every challenge—
The challenge of the poor, the black, of all denied,
The challenge of the vast colonial world
That long has had so little justice by its side.

Give us a peace that dares us to be wise.
Give us a peace that dares us to be strong.
Give us a peace that dares us still uphold
Throughout the peace our battle against wrong.

Give us a peace that is not cheaply used,
A peace that is no clever scheme,
A people’s peace for which men can enthuse,
A peace that brings reality to our dream.

Give us a peace that will produce great schools—
As the war produced great armament,
A peace that will wipe out our slums—
As war wiped out our foes on evil bent.

Give us a peace that will enlist
A mighty army serving human kind,
Not just an army geared to kill,
But trained to help the living mind—
An army trained to shape our common good
And bring about a world of brotherhood.

—Langston Hughes
from The Chicago Defender, August 25, 1945

Main idea of The Artist’s search

Just as two colors will, when carefully mixed, form a third and different color (yellow and blue, for example, produce green), so too it is sometimes possible to see in the cooperative efforts of living things a resultant accomplishment that defies description on the basis of the characteristics of the creatures involved. A description of the traits and performances of the individual members of a hive of honeybees or a championship athletic team hardly serves to describe the results of their joint efforts.

Excerpt 1
The taunts and teasing are vivid memories for Assata Washington, 12, of Atlanta, Georgia. When
she was in third grade, some of the girls in her class called her names because she wore glasses.
The situation was so bad, Assata didn't want to go to school. "I used to ask, 'Mommy, why do I
have to go?'" Assata says.
Assata was being bullied. Bullying is a constant problem in U.S. schools. At least one third of
children in the fourth to eighth grades say they have been bullied, according to recent studies.
Sometimes kids miss school to avoid bullies. There are ways to stop bullies. But kids don't always
do the most important thing--talk about it. Getting a teacher, parent, or other responsible adult
involved is very important. Assata told her mom and her teachers about her bullies. And her
teachers kept an eye out for her.
If you see bullying, you can also step up to help tell someone to stop. If you feel safe to do so.
