About this event

Join us virtually at Wynnewood for the return of our Facebook Live series, Telling the Story of Slavery, on February 8th @ 12 PM CST.

In this first installment, we'll explore the impact of sugar on the domestic slave trade and the human lives that were bound to it. While cotton has long been associated with the history of slavery in the United States, sugar had much of the same impact. Learn more about the bitter truth of how the sugar industry fed the institution of slavery.
