Sesame Place found not liable in lawsuit claiming discrimination at Bucks County theme park
Sep 20, 2024
A federal jury in Philadelphia determined that character performers at Sesame Place in Bucks County did not discriminate against Black children during visits to the theme park. The case was sparked by a viral video in 2022 that appeared to a show a mascot snubbing two Black girls. The lawsuit, which sought $25 million, was filed by another family that made similar allegations. SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, which owns Sesame Place, was found not liable.
