CNN and Sesame Street Will Talk to Kids About Racism in a 60-Minute Town Hall on Saturday
On the heels of Sesame Street's antiracist statement on June 1, the show is taking a step in following through on its promise to "speak out against racism, to promote understanding, and to create a world that is smarter, stronger, and kinder." In collaboration with CNN, Sesame Street will talk to kids about racism in a 60-minute town hall on Saturday, June 6.
"The show will talk to kids about racism, the recent nationwide protests, embracing diversity and being more empathetic and understanding," reads the announcement on CNN. Big Bird will moderate the event with the help of CNN's Van Jones and Erica Hill, and other Sesame Street characters and experts will join to answer questions submitted by families across the country.
