1969: sesame visionary

[Lloyd] Mor­risett fell into a din­ner-par­ty con­ver­sa­tion with Joan Ganz Cooney, a pub­lic-af­fairs pro­duc­er at New York’s Chan­nel 13 … [they] got to talk­ing about whether pub­lic-mind­ed tele­vi­sion might be able to ed­u­cate young kids.”
Jill Lep­ore, how we got to sesame street

Chil­dren all over the coun­try were singing com­mer­cials, so they were cer­tain­ly learn­ing some­thing from tele­vi­sion. The ques­tion was not whether it could teach but could it teach some­thing of po­ten­tial use.”
Joan Ganz Cooney, when a rev­o­lu­tion was televised

In­stead of children’s pro­grams re­volv­ing around sell­ing break­fast ce­re­al or the newest toy, the cre­ators of Sesame Street (Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Mor­risett) found­ed their pub­lic ac­cess show on pro­vid­ing re­search-based ed­u­ca­tion for all chil­dren. The show was ac­tu­al­ly cre­at­ed as an ini­tia­tive to close the ed­u­ca­tion­al gap that be­gan at the pre‑K lev­el for chil­dren in low-in­come families.”
Ang­ie Cum­mings, the heart­warm­ing his­to­ry of Sesame Street
 

A mir­a­cle oc­curred dur­ing one of our most tur­bu­lent times.
