All this Elmo talk on the TL makes it a good time to recommend "Street Gang" on HBO Max, about the making of Sesame Street. The show was made to cater to Black urban preschoolers to help them learn how to read and count. And it's still a success over 50yrs later.

Rosedale, Queens (1978). By the mid-1970s, Black middle-class families were moving into the all-white neighborhood. Tensions rose, even amongst children. Here's a clip illustrating this tension.

Fun fact: Black ppl after slavery were able to choose their own surname thru the Freedmen's Bureau, a gov agency that supported former slaves. Some took their master's surname, but some chose the surnames of Presidents: Jackson, Johnson, Washington...some even chose Freeman.

It's interesting, I think Williams is the most common Black surname. But when you get to the President's names, they are disproportionately Black. Jefferson, Adams...in fact, the Blackest common surname in America is "Washington" with about 90% of ppl w that surname being Black.
