Coming Together, Standing up to Racism
If you missed this, you still have an opportunity to watch and share with your littles and bigs.
Elmo's dad talks to him about how people are upset because racism is a huge problem in our country and then he explains racism, so a child can understand.
The first part is, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms takes questions along with CNN's Van Jones and Erica Hill about how to combat racism, and shares a message with kids about how to make a change. Then, Abby Cadabby shares a story about how her fellow Sesame Street friend Big Bird was a victim of prejudice, and how she stood up for him. And a college professor defines white privilege.
