Iconic children series Sesame Street added two new Muppets to help children talk about race and racism.

The show introduced 5-year-old Wes and his father Elijah, who talk with Elmo about race and what makes us different.

“Children are not colorblind—not only do they first notice differences in race in infancy, but they also start forming their own sense of identity at a very young age,” Jeanette Betancourt, Senior Vice President at Sesame Workshop, said in a statement, per The Hill.

The topics of race and racism have been front and center in the last year following the police killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests that swept the country.

Kay Wilson Stallings, the executive vice president of creative and production for Sesame Workshop, told The Hill that the program “decided that the only way that we could go about dismantling racism was by being bold and explicit.”

“People were working remotely. People were feeling a lot of emotions, and it was almost like everyone had the same realization. If not Sesame, who’s going to address this?” She said.
