A Legacy of Love and Sacrifice: The Original Stage-play

For Sarah Christian-Love, being a teacher is more than a professional career choice. It is an act of obedience. It is an answer to a call upon her life. Specifically, she feels led to teach the next generation about the acts of love shown and sacrifices made throughout history for the advancement of African Americans. So, when she is given the opportunity to direct a school wide stage play written with the intention to honor black and white abolitionists and civil rights activists during Black History Month, she considers it to be a great privilege and an honor. Unfortunately, her colleagues’ opinions about Black History Education leave her heartbroken and utterly speechless. As far as they are concerned, it is just one more thing, in a long list of things to do as an educator and it leaves her questioning if she will ever be able to make a difference.
