each other). These authentic conversations also include PBS KIDS content from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Arthur and Xavier Riddle & the Secret Museum. Watch PBS KIDS Talk About: Race & Racism, Friday, October 9, at 7 PM, and throughout the weekend.

OUR OCTOBER BLOCK PARTY STARS MAYA & MIGUELWatch Weekends, at 7 AM & 1 PM
