Baron Davis Takes On The Breakfast Club The latest guest to visit The Breakfast Club studio is two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis . He stopped by to discuss his latest endeavor, the Black Santa movement (as evidenced by his sweater). He also gives his thoughts on rookie Lonzo Ball, an he doesn’t necessarily agree with the people who think he’s not performing up to the standards that everyone expected. He says about the new Laker, “[He’s] playing great for a rookie playing for the Lakers with this much attention and pressure. He handles it all well. I think he’s going to be great. It’s just a matter of putting the right pieces [around him]. He’s the type of player – if you put the right pieces around him, potent scorers and people who can actually dominate the game, then he’s the guy who’s going to make all the right decisions.”

T he annual holiday ritual of waiting in long lines so your children can appeal to Santa Claus for presents is officially upon us. But as America’s collective skin color skews increasingly darker, so are the men dressing up as St. Nicholas to accommodate the demand from families of color who want their children to see a Kris Kringle they can ethnically identify with. Enter Christmas 2017, where there are seemingly more Black Santas peppered across the nation’s map than ever before. You can find them at malls, churches, schools, community centers and maybe even just walking down your block, depending on where you live. But the overarching point here is that you can find them easier than ever, which wasn’t really the case just a few years ago.

But to simplify things a bit for those looking for them, News One has created this handy little interactive tool to help you map where exactly to find one or more Black Santas during this holiday season. Just click on the point located nearest to you to find the closest Black Santa to your town. Strangely enough, or perhaps not strangely at all depending on who you ask, there are a number of Black Santa Clauses concentrated in Indianapolis and North Carolina. On the other hand, not surprisingly, the same is true for the metro Atlanta area. Maybe most notably is Santa Larry , the Black Santa Claus who last year began making appearances at the Mall of America in suburban Minneapolis. He has triumphantly resumed his post this season at the largest shopping center in the U.S., an indication of the type of demand he and other Black Santas have generated in recent years.

Please let us know if we missed any locations where to find Black Santa and we will update our map. Seasons greetings!
