The Apology David Gulbraa

Can a lone individual face down a mob? Even when that mob is an entire country?



Swept up in the aftermath of a shocking act of political theater, multiple lives alter course in this drama centered around a national apology for slavery.

After the President of the United States stages a mock slave whipping that shocks the nation, black recipients of reparation payments travel across the country to join the president live on stage at the final event of his national apology tour. Not everyone makes it.

Who ultimately arrives on stage, and what that person does and says in the full glare of the national media, highlights this dramatic clash of individualism against racism.
