When we come together, we come together, come together,

and we feel all right.

Oh.

[GIGGLES]

I play my piano, and it sounds real good.

I play my favorite song.

[GIGGLES]

And you are a singer, and when we sing together--

Hi.

Hey, everybody can sing along.

Yeah.

Oh, we come together.

We come together.

We come together.

We come together.

Come together and we sing our song.

Oh, we come together.

You like to bounce a ball all around.

And then you pass it to me.

Now we're playing together.

It's a game that's hard to beat.

[ELMO GIGGLES]

Yeah.

That was good.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

Hey, John.

You want to share a cookie?

Yeah.

Here you go.

Thank you, Cookie Monster.

Yeah.

Cookie.

Elmo wants to be an upstander to racism.

Yeah, me too.

But well, I don't know what to do.

I know it can be hard.

[SINGING] How do you know what to do when you hear someone

say "you're not good enough, go away"?

When someone is not let in because

of the color of their skin--

How do you know what to do?

Hey, Elmo, how would you feel if I

said I don't like you because I don't like the color red?

Elmo wouldn't care what you said because Elmo

is proud-- yeah-- to be red.

And Abby what if I said that I think you're better than Elmo

because you're pink?

I'd tell you that it's wrong to say my color makes

me better in any way.

And if anyone tried to make Elmo feel sad,

I'd tell them he's the best friend I ever had.

Thanks, Abby.

Elmo thinks if you're big or small the way

you look doesn't matter at all.

That's outstanding.

You're upstanding.

I'm upstanding.

Elmo's upstanding.

We're upstanding.

That's outstanding.

In our hearts we know what's right.

And that's what makes our lights shine bright.

Now, we know what to do when we hear someone say "you're not

good enough, go away."

When someone is not let in because

of the color of their skin, now we know what to do.

Speak up.

Say something.

Don't give in.

[GIGGLES] So when you see something that's wrong,

speak up and say, that's wrong, and tell an adult.

Oh, hey.

You know what I love?

Mi cabello.

Wait.

Did you just say you love your cabello?

Yes.

And "cabello" is the word for hair in Spanish, right?

Si.

It is.

I thought so.

And guess what.

I love my hair too.

Well, let's not just talk about it.

Let's sing about it.

Yeah.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

Your hair.

That's right.

I really love my hair.

Mi cabello.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

I love my hair.

There's nothing else that can compare with my hair.

I love my hair.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

In a clippy or in a bow.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

My hair looks good in a--

Corn row.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

I love my hair.

I love it and I have to share.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

I wear it up.

Up.

I wear it down.

Down.

I wear it twisted all around.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

When it's tied up or flying free--

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

My hair is part of me.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

I really love my hair.

Mi cabello.

[SINGING] If what I am is what's in me, then I'll stay strong.

That's who I'll be, and I will always

be the best me that I can be.

There's only one me, I am it.

Have a dream.

I'll follow it.

It's up to me to try.

[DRUMMING]
