About the Event
Ken Torino will reveal how mid-nineteenth century female abolitionists – like Maria Chapman, Lydia Marie Child, and Abby Kelly- played a key role in shaping the holiday as we know it today. Discover the inspiring stories of these women and how their holiday efforts contributed to both social change and the festive customs we cherish today.
