The 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s public programs explore a range of topics reflecting on the ongoing impacts and continued resonance of the attacks, their historical context, and their aftermath.
When Children Were Watching: Sesame Street and 9/11
Tuesday, August 25 at 6 p.m.
In the season of Sesame Street that followed the 9/11 attacks, show makers built upon their decades of experience writing for a preschool-aged audience to help children and families manage fear, cope with grief, and understand the importance of tolerance. In conversation with 9/11 Memorial & Museum President and CEO Beth Hillman, Sesame Workshop’s Senior Vice President of Global Education Dr. Rosemarie Truglio, television producer Carol-Lynn Parente, and actor and retired FDNY Captain Bill Walsh reflect on Sesame Street’s response to 9/11 and Sesame Workshop’s long history of helping young children and their families navigate tough topics.
Through support of The Never Forget Fund, public programs are made possible by Delta Air Lines and Fiserv.
