PHILADELPHIA — A Black family that was apparently snubbed by a mascot at Sesame Place in July was once again snubbed, according to their attorney, this time by the CEO of the park’s parent company, who pledged last month to hear them out.
On Tuesday, the Brown family was due to meet with Marc Swanson, CEO Of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, which owns and operates Sesame Place in Bucks County, but were instead met with attorneys and corporate representatives in New York, according to a statement from B’Ivory Lamarr, the family’s attorney.
SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment owns and operates the park through a license with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit responsible for the TV show Sesame Street.
