Outrage continues to grow with the theme park Sesame Place as a string of now-viral videos shows characters at the park seemingly ignoring Black children. NBC News’ Steven Romo reports on how one family recently spoke out claiming their children are victims of racist behavior.
A federal jury found that costumed players, dressed as Sesame characters near Philadelphia, did not discriminate against young Black patrons in widely shared video two years ago, court records showed on Thursday. The Philadelphia panel sided with SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, voting unanimously that the defense's Sesame Place Philadelphia, a children’s theme park in Burks County, did not discriminate against girls shown in videos that went viral in July 2022.
' Baltimore resident Quinton Burns took his child to the park on June 18 that year and were at a “Meet and Greet” event with players dressed as Elmo, Ernie, Telly Monster and Abby Cadabby, according to his federal suit. The class action complaint claimed that costumed characters “intentionally refused to perform' or 'engage' with that child — who is identified in the suit only as K.B. — and other Black guests while doing their act for white people.
