Conspiracy

By Von H. Washington, Sr

Frank Deb`waa, a popular university professor, prepares final notes for a keynote address at a topnotch educational symposium,at a college in the northeast. Frank is the first African American scholar to present at this distinguished gathering and his chosen topic is Socrates, the great Greek Sophist. As Frank works on his presentation, he is asked to mentor Arleta Storie, an African American graduate student, who implores him to take a closer look at historical documents that links Socrates to African antiquity, in a less than favorable light. Arleta is convinced that these documents reveal information that played a part in her son’s violent and untimely death. At the same time, Frank is trying very hard to please the Dean of his college, who was instrumental in selecting him to deliver the keynote address. As the three parties come together, a rift develops that reaches back to the age of antiquity; a rift that threatens to destroy his academic credibility, sabotage the symposium, discredit the university, and disrupt the lives of everyone around them.
