Ramteen Arablui: 我在伊朗搬到美国后感到孤独,而芝麻街帮助我学习英语并处理我的情绪,它成为我童年生活中重要的陪伴和学习工具。 Sesame Street 帮助我学习英语,并教会我如何处理悲伤、愤怒和孤独等情绪。它为我打开了一扇通往全新世界的大门,一个安全、包容、美好的美国世界。 Michael Davis: 芝麻街并非由政府项目精心策划,而是起源于一次私人晚宴。其理念源于一个在哈莱姆的学前教育项目,旨在为弱势儿童提供更好的教育机会。Joan Ganz Cooney 认为电视可以用来教育儿童,并决定尝试。她的研究表明,电视可以用来教育儿童,并认为应该利用电视传播积极的社会价值观。芝麻街的成功之处在于其扎实的科学教育研究基础,以及它获得了政府和基金会的资助。芝麻街汇聚了来自不同领域的顶尖人才,共同创作节目。芝麻街的目标是接触黑人观众,并代表哈莱姆社区。Evelyn Davis 在黑人社区推广芝麻街起到了关键作用。 Loretta Long: 我在芝麻街扮演Susan,这个角色融合了我自己的经历。我的工作结合了我教育和表演的背景。我最初被邀请到芝麻街试镜是因为我既是演员又是老师。我最初只被雇佣了一周,参与拍摄试播集。 Kira Hunting: 芝麻街在引入新内容时会面临来自社会各界的反馈,这反映了美国社会中存在的政治和文化分歧。芝麻街并不加剧政治分歧,反而可以被用来弥合分歧。对芝麻街处理包容性和友谊等议题的批评是不合理的。
