Reconciliation

Sarah, a law student at the University of Maryland, discovers her ancestors were slave owners, igniting her passionate quest for reparations for African Americans. Amid a mock trial where she argues for justice, Sarah navigates her complex feelings about her lineage and fears for her friendships with Jamal and Dawn, two Black students deeply affected by her family's past.

With the support of her mother, Jennifer, a dedicated lawyer and social justice advocate, Sarah confronts the legacy of slavery and its impact on society. As she evolves her activism into a social media campaign called "40 Acres and a Mule," she strives to raise awareness about the unfulfilled promises to formerly enslaved people.

Through powerful courtroom exchanges and intimate family conversations, "Reconciliation" explores themes of self-discovery, friendship, and the quest for justice. Sarah learns that true reconciliation requires not just acknowledging the past, but actively working towards a more equitable future, challenging readers to consider their roles in the ongoing struggle for equality.
