A Baltimore family is suing a Sesame Street-themed amusement park for $25 million in federal court over claims of racial discrimination.
The lawsuit comes in the wake of a video, shared widely on social media, showing two other Black girls apparently being snubbed by a costumed employee during a parade at the park.
Sesame Place apologized in a statement and promised more training for its employees after the video went viral earlier this month.Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
