The man who was the first black Santa ever at the Mall of America this past Christmas will tell of his journey to become the top African-American jolly old elf during a program Thursday at Texarkana College.
Nashville, Ark., native Santa Larry Jefferson will speak at 12:30 p.m. in the Levi Hall Conference Room in the Business and Computer Technology Building as part of TC's Black History Month program series.
Santa Larry, who's worn the red suit professionally since 1999, said he learned of the opportunity at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., during a Santa conference in Branson, Mo. this past summer.
