Daily News | Protesters again target Sesame Place over snubbing of Black children
This week, protesters held a sign with screenshots from Brown’s video and the words “Sesame Place said themselves that this is not ok!”
Adebayoo Arowolo of New Jersey said he won’t consider coming back to Sesame Place. He learned about the viral incidents at Sesame Place on television but said he’d purchased tickets to the park for his two children, ages 10 and 2, before the news broke. Philadelphia mother Diane Leader was leaving but said she’d be back with her 7-year-old son, who has autism. “He had a good experience,” she said of her son in the park.
“I just kept it moving, I didn’t want to start nothing, but I did feel some type of way,” Mountcastle said of her own incident, “because these are our babies and they love Elmo.”
