'Arthur' on Racism: Talk, Listen, and Act

© 2020 WGBH Educational Foundation. All rights reserved. “Arthur” & the other Marc Brown ARTHUR characters and underlying materials (including artwork) ™ and © Marc Brown.

PBS Kids recently released a new video for kids, families and educators. In the short video Arthur, Buster and Lakewood Elementary School's lunch lady Mrs. MacGrady talk about ways we can all fight racism and stand up for what’s right. This is the third video short released in Spring/Summer 2020 to help kids understand a variety of topics and challenges.

In the short, Mrs. MacGrady quotes the late Congressman John Lewis in telling Arthur, “If you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something about it."
