Daily News | Jesse Jackson meets with Sesame Place corporate leaders to discuss racism allegations
The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. on Thursday met in New York with the CEO of Sesame Place’s parent company to discuss racism allegations that erupted after recent viral videos of costumed characters at the park appearing to dismiss and ignore Black children.
When asked if the repeated apologies from Sesame Place were genuine and authentic, Jackson replied: “trust but verify.” The line, which Jackson said several times during his remarks, was first made famous by President Ronald Reagan when talking about negotiating with the Soviet Union.
