Lecturer examines Britain’s Slavery Debt; Santa Dee on a mission to spread holiday joy

Candler School of Theology is hosting a lecture called “Britain’s Slavery Debt, Reparations and the Responsibility of Christian Churches.” The lecture will be given by Michael Banner, who is the dean of Trinity College at the University of Cambridge, and the author of the book, “Britain’s Slavery Debt: Reparations Now!” Banner talks with Rose about his book, upcoming lecture and Britain’s imperial past that’s directly entangled with the transatlantic slave trade.

Plus, Santa Dee, also known as The Real Black Santa, has taken a break from the North Pole to join “Closer Look.” He talks with Rose about how he’s spreading holiday cheer in the aftermath of an election year. He also talks more about the Santas of Color Coalition and the growing demand for more Black Santas.
