[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Hey, John.
You want to share a cookie?
Yeah.
Here you go.
Thank you, Cookie Monster.
Yeah.
Cookie.
Elmo wants to be an upstander to racism.
Yeah, me too.
But well, I don't know what to do.
I know it can be hard.
[SINGING] How do you know what to do when you hear someone
say "you're not good enough, go away"?
When someone is not let in because
of the color of their skin--
How do you know what to do?
Hey, Elmo, how would you feel if I
said I don't like you because I don't like the color red?
Elmo wouldn't care what you said because Elmo
is proud-- yeah-- to be red.
And Abby what if I said that I think you're better than Elmo
because you're pink?
I'd tell you that it's wrong to say my color makes
me better in any way.
And if anyone tried to make Elmo feel sad,
I'd tell them he's the best friend I ever had.
Thanks, Abby.
Elmo thinks if you're big or small the way
you look doesn't matter at all.
That's outstanding.
You're upstanding.
I'm upstanding.
Elmo's upstanding.
We're upstanding.
That's outstanding.
In our hearts we know what's right.
And that's what makes our lights shine bright.
Now, we know what to do when we hear someone say "you're not
good enough, go away."
When someone is not let in because
of the color of their skin, now we know what to do.
Speak up.
Say something.
Don't give in.
[GIGGLES] So when you see something that's wrong,
speak up and say, that's wrong, and tell an adult.
Oh, hey.
You know what I love?
Mi cabello.
Wait.
Did you just say you love your cabello?
Yes.
And "cabello" is the word for hair in Spanish, right?
Si.
It is.
I thought so.
And guess what.
I love my hair too.
Well, let's not just talk about it.
Let's sing about it.
Yeah.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
Your hair.
That's right.
I really love my hair.
Mi cabello.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
I love my hair.
There's nothing else that can compare with my hair.
I love my hair.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
In a clippy or in a bow.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
My hair looks good in a--
Corn row.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
I love my hair.
I love it and I have to share.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
I wear it up.
Up.
I wear it down.
Down.
I wear it twisted all around.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
When it's tied up or flying free--
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
My hair is part of me.
[SINGING IN SPANISH]
I really love my hair.
Mi cabello.
[SINGING] If what I am is what's in me, then I'll stay strong.
That's who I'll be, and I will always
be the best me that I can be.
There's only one me, I am it.
Have a dream.
I'll follow it.
It's up to me to try.
[DRUMMING]
Oh, I'm going to keep my head up high.

Here we go.
Oh, hi.
Elmo's with his good friend Lupita.
Hello.
Yeah.
And today, Elmo and Lupita are going
to tell you all about skin.
Right.
Did you know all animals and people are covered in skin?
Get out of town.
It's true.
Not Elmo.
No.
Elmo's covered in fur.
Check under your fur.
Really?
Mhm.
OK.
[GASPS]
Look at that.
[GIGGLES]
Elmo's covered in skin too.
Uh-huh.
Wow.
Miss Lupita.
Yes.
Why is Elmo covered in skin?
Well, our skin covers our whole body to protect it, Elmo.
Really?
Uh-huh.
Good job, skin.
Skin can also help you touch and feel things.
Like what?
Well, you can use your skin to feel if something
is rough or smooth--
Oh.
--hard or soft, hot or cold.
Skin can feel lots of different things.
Oh.
Well, oh.
Elmo's skin can tell that Miss Lupita's skin is very soft.
And my skin can feel that you're furry.
[GIGGLES] That tickles.
That's another thing your skin can do.
What?
Be ticklish.
Well, Elmo loves to feel ticklish.
Well, you can thank your skin for that.
[GIGGLES] Thank you, skin.
Oh, wow.
Elmo sees that Miss Lupita's skin
is a beautiful brown color.
That's the thing I love most about skin, Elmo.
What's that?
Skin comes in lots of beautiful shades and colors.
Oh.
Look at that.
Elmo's skin is a beautiful red.
Yeah.
You know what, Miss Lupita?
What's that Elmo?
Elmo loves the skin he's in.
Me too.
I love my--
Skin.

You don't respect the fire, then expect to burn.
You disrespect others and you will get served.
All dreams will be deferred.
You get less than you deserve.

[CHEERING]

Skin can stretch, and skin can grow.
Skin covers us from head to toe.

It covers my nose.
And it covers my chin.
It moves when I smile.
And it makes me grin.
Oh, how I really do love my beautiful skin.

Skin can be rough.
Skin can be smooth.
Use skin cream when you've got skin to soothe.
