If you’ve been looking for a way to talk to your kids about the racism and protests that are taking place in the United States, but don’t know what to say, Big Bird, Elmo, and other Sesame Street favorites are here to help you. CNN and Sesame Street have teamed up for another town hall event – this time about countering racism.
CNN and Sesame Street held their first joint town hall in April to answer children’s questions about the coronavirus pandemic (you can watch it in full here ). This town hall, which will take place at 10:00 am ET on Saturday, June 6, will cover “nationwide protests with diversity, greater empathy and understanding.” Here are the details :
Big Bird will join CNN commentator Van Jones, CNN anchor and national correspondent Erica Hill to host the event. They will be joined by Sesame Street characters including Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Rosita, as well as other experts answering questions from families.
The 60-minute special entitled “ Together: Confront Racism ” will be broadcast on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español. You can also watch CNNgo and cable / satellite subscribers can watch it on demand. It will also be streamed live on the CNN.com homepage and on mobile devices via CNN’s apps – no cable entry required.
Parents can ask their family questions in advance on the CNN website .
