unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion.

Welcome back to Forum. I'm Mina Kim.

More than a half century ago, Sesame Street debuted on TV screens.

No one had ever seen anything like it.

And there was an immense interest in the show.

A new children's program will make use of the commercial technique to acquaint the

youngsters with the alphabet. The program is called Sesame Street.

Sesame Street was designed to close the learning gap for kids from low-income families by

teaching the alphabet, numbers, and other preschool basics, and it also tackled social emotional skills, like dealing with grief and conflict.

In her new documentary Street Gang, How We Got to Sesame Street, Director Marilyn

Agrello covers the show's first 10 years on air, and its surprisingly radical roots.

And feel free to tell us, listeners, your favorite Sesame Street characters and segments.

And what the show means to you, you can call us at 866-733-6786.

Again, 866-733-6786.
