DVR Arlet: Sesame Street & CNN Come Together to Confront Racism!

Last weekend as Sesame Street was set join CNN for a second town hall about COVID-19, peaceful protest turned into riots as America's anger and heartbreak over the killing of yet another black man at the hands of police boiled over.

Now, instead of doing another COVID special CNN and Sesame Street are refocusing their second town hall to address racism.


Big Bird will join CNN commentator Van Jones and CNN anchor and national correspondent Erica Hill to moderate the event.
Elmo, Abby Cadabby, and Rosita will be joining them from Sesame Street, as will experts answering questions submitted by families.

The town hall will air on CNN, CNN International and CNN en EspaƱol. It will stream live on CNN.com's homepage and across mobile devices via CNN's apps, without requiring a cable log-in.
The first CNN "Sesame Street" town hall about the dangers of covid-19 to their children can be viewed here.

The 60-minute special Coming Together: Standing Up to Racism. A CNN/Sesame Street Town Hall for Kids and Families will air on Saturday, June 6, at 10 a.m. ET.
