Have you ever wondered how or if slaves celebrated Christmas?
Surely, we realize every experience in slavery was different, and there is no ideal... but there is evidence of slaves celebrating the holidays with their masters or on their own. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find evidence of what might have happened on or around Christmas for those that were enslaved.
Search primary source documents and find quote, images and any evidence of their experience. Extra credit will be given... Points will vary based on how much research and work is put in.
Happy New Year!
