Christmas could be a time of rest and a chance to participate in holiday traditions for some of America’s enslaved persons, but for others, it was viewed as a time for resistance and even an opportunity to plan escapes.Join Robert E. May of Purdue University for a conversation about his book, Yuletide in Dixie: Slavery, Christmas and Southern Memory, which explains how the holiday season was a chance for freedom.* Tickets are $5/person. Registration required by 5 p.m. on Nov. 30. For tickets visit: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_gMtHPrK-SbeONJEplGybXg
