Periagoge
Scenario

When families must decide whether inherited wealth should fund reparations

Our family foundation inherited wealth that we know came partially from slave labor and now we're debating whether to dissolve it entirely and distribute everything as reparations or transform it into a reparations-focused foundation, but really we're fighting about whether our family name deserves to survive this reckoning. The practical decision is tangled up with identity and legacy questions we've never addressed directly.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family is confronting whether justice requires the complete dissolution of their legacy or allows for its transformation.
