In a video shared online, "Sesame Street" star Elmo meets Elijah and Wes, a Black father and son who are sitting on the bench in the park. After discussing the colors of the leaves and how the red ones match Elmo's fur and the brown ones match Wes' skin, Elmo asks why Wes' skin is brown.
Elijah responds by explaining that the more melanin someone has, the "darker your skin looks."
"The color of our skin is an important part of who we are," Elijah tells Elmo. "But we should all know that it's OK that we all look different in so very, many ways."
"Things on the outside like our skin color or our hair texture or noses, our smiles and eyes make us who we are. Many people call this race," Elijah continues. "But even though we look different, we're all part of the human race."
