Peace was born into poverty and raised in a dangerous neighborhood. He was exposed to violence from a young age, and he was often bullied by his peers. Despite these challenges, Peace was determined to succeed. He was a good student, and he had dreams of going to college and becoming a lawyer.

In 2011, Peace was walking home from school when he was shot and killed by a stray bullet. His death shocked the city of Newark, and it sparked a national conversation about the need to address the root causes of violence in urban America.

The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace is a powerful and moving account of a young man's life cut short by violence. Based on extensive research and interviews, this book tells the story of Peace's life and death, and it explores the complex social and economic factors that contributed to his tragedy.

Peace's story is a tragic one, but it is also a story of hope and resilience. His family and friends worked tirelessly to keep his memory alive and to create a better future for the young people of Newark. The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our youth.
