(CBS) — Sesame Place has announced a series of actions aimed at advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. It follows several allegations of bias against Black children. Sesame Place has announced a racial equity review following allegations of bias after a now-viral video sparked protests and calls for a boycott of the Bucks County theme park. They say this video shows four Sesame Place characters ignoring 5-year-old Kennedi Burns during her visit on Father's Day weekend. In a release issued Tuesday, Sesame Place says the equity review will be chaired by national civil rights experts.
