The long-running PBS show has tackled many critical themes in the past. Back in April, Sesame Street and CNN teamed up for their first town hall to discuss the coronavirus pandemic with children and their families.
Without requiring a cable log-in, the special will also be available to stream live on CNN's homepage and mobile devices. CNN International and CNN en Español will also stream the town hall. Audiences can watch on CNNgo and subscribers to cable/satellite systems will be able to watch on-demand.
Be sure to tune with your family to help all of us understand what is going on around the nation.
