When and How Can You Watch The Town Hall?
The 60-minute special show “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. It will also be available for live streaming on CNN.com and the CNN app.
CNN and Sesame Street also teamed up previously for a town hall for kids, and parents titled the ABC’s of Covid-19. Standing up to Racism will be their second time collaborating.
This initiative by CNN is appreciated by parents all over as it does get challenging to answer questions from children who are unable to understand what is all the unrest for. Young minds have a million questions, and this is the perfect opportunity for parents to sit with their young ones and help them understand what the world is going through at the moment.
