It was created for children from low income families who couldn’t afford cable….not specifically for minorities but that was how it ultimately worked out

Cable was a thing when Sesame Street started?

Actually it was. Cable came on the scene in 48'. And it was only a couple of states when it started. SS 1st aired in 69'.

When I was a kid I used to be in love with this girl up the street from me that was on sesame street. To me she was like a movie star. I used to hang out with her annoying brother just to try to be near her.

That's my sesame street story.
