Elmo: Yeah!

Tamir: Woah, this is cool.

Charlie: It looks great.

Abby: Hey.

Um, what are you two making?

Charlie: We're making a peace tree.

Elmo: Ah.

Cool.

Oh.

Oh, hi!

Welcome to Sesame Street.

Tamir: Hi!

Abby: Hi!

Elmo: Oh, oh.

It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and Charlie and Tamir are making a peach tree!

Tamir: Heh heh.

No, no.

Not a peach tree.

A peace tree.

Charlie: Yeah.

Elmo: Ah.

That's very different.

Abby: Yeah.

Elmo: Oh, oh, well, what's a peace tree?

Tamir: Well, it's a special tree made from paper.

Yeah.

We're all drawing leaves that show how we'll do our part to treat people fairly and with kindness.

Abby & Elmo: Aww.

Charlie: We made a peace tree just like this at school for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and we wanted to make one here on Sesame Street, too.

Abby: Wow!

Elmo: Oh!

Well, Elmo and Abby learned about Martin Luther King Jr. in preschool, right, Abby?

Abby: That's right.

We learned that Martin Luther King Jr. was a great leader!

Tamir: That's right.

He stood up against racism, which means treating people in a hurtful way because of how they look.

Charlie: Like the color of their skin or where they're from or how they speak.

Tamir: Yeah.

Elmo: Yeah, and that's wrong!

Abby: Yeah.

Really, really wrong.

Charlie: Yeah.

Tamir: Mm-hmm.

Dr. King wanted to make the world a more fair place for all people.

Charlie: Dr. King even gave a famous speech about it.

Tamir: Mm-hmm.

Charlie: Oh, Tamir, do you still have that video on your tablet that we could show them?

Tamir: Oh, yeah, yeah.

There's a clip that my dad showed me of Martin Luther King Jr. giving his "I Have a Dream" speech.

Charlie: When he says, "dream," he means he has a wish.

Tamir: Yeah.

Elmo: Oh.

Man: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. [Cheering and applause] Dr. King: I have a dream... [Applause] that my 4 little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today... [Cheering and applause] Tamir: Yeah.

So since Martin Luther King used peaceful ways of bringing people together to create a fair and kinder world, we think making a peace tree right here would be a good way to celebrate him.

Charlie: Right!

We want everyone on Sesame Street to add a leaf that shows what they're promising to do.

Tamir: Yeah, how we're all promising to carry on his wish, not just on Martin Luther King Jr. Day but every day.

Charlie: Tamir and I put our leaves up on the peace tree already.

Elmo: Oh.

Tamir: Mm-hmm.

My leaf shows me standing like a superhero because I'm going to have the courage to stand up for myself whenever I'm treated unfairly because of my skin color.

Elmo: Oh, that's nice.

Charlie: My promise is that I'm going to invite everyone to play during recess and make sure that no one is left out because of the way they look.

Abby: Aw.

Oh, I want to make a leaf for the peace tree.

Elmo: Oh, yeah.

Elmo, too!

Tamir: Oh, great!

Charlie: Here's one for you, Abby, and one for you, too, Elmo.

Abby: Oh, thank you.

Elmo: Thank you.

Tamir: OK.

So just draw a picture of what you promise to do to celebrate Martin Luther King's wish and then bring your leaves back here by the end of the day!

Abby: OK. We will.

Elmo: OK. Abby: Heh heh.

Hey, Elmo.

Do you know what you're gonna draw on your leaf?

Elmo: Not yet.

Elmo has to think about it.

Abby: Hmm.

Me, too.

Elmo: Yeah.

Gabrielle: Rosita, have you seen the blue marker?

Elmo: Come on.

Abby: [Gasps] OK. Bye!

Charlie: Bye!

Tamir: Bye!

Elmo: Oh, hi, Gabrielle!

Abby: Hi!

Hi, Rosita!

Gabrielle: Hi, Abby.

Rosita: Hi, Abby.

Hola, Elmo.

Elmo: Oh.

Oh, did Gabrielle drop this marker?

Gabrielle: Oh, thanks, Elmo.

Oh.

I was just looking for this.

I need it to draw my leaf for the peace tree.

Rosita: Hm-hmm.

Elmo: Ah.

Cool.

Well, Elmo and Abby are still trying to figure out what we're gonna draw on our leaves.

Abby: Yeah.

Gabrielle: Well, we read a book in school about Dr. King that helped us come up with our promises.

Rosita: Yeah.

Oh, it's called "My Daddy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." See?

Gabrielle: Yep.

It was written by Dr. King's son Martin Luther King III.

Elmo: Wow!

Elmo didn't know that Dr. King was a daddy!

Abby: Yeah.

Well, what's it about?

Elmo: Yeah.

Rosita: Oh, well, it's about Martin Luther King III when he was a little kid.

Gabrielle: Yep, and what it was like for him to watch his own daddy and others work to make sure everyone is treated the way they want to be treated-- with respect!

Rosita: That's what helped me to come up with my leaf.

It's a picture of my family and me.

I'm so proud that my family came from Mexico, and I promise to learn more about my friend Gabrielle and her family.

Gabrielle: Thanks, Rosita!

And for my peace tree leaf, I promise to express how proud I feel about being me by... ♪ singing ♪ and writing poems about who I am.

Elmo: Wow!

Rosita: Heh heh heh.

Elmo: Rosita and Gabrielle's leaves are great promises!

Abby: Yeah.

You know, I think I know what to draw.

I just love making amazing art with my friends, and so I promise that I'm always gonna share whatever I have, like my paper and my crayons.

Gabrielle: That's a great promise, Abby.

Elmo: Yeah!

Rosita: Yes, Abby.

Would you like to use some of our markers to draw on your leaf?

Abby: Ooh!

Yes, please!

Ha ha ha!

What about you, Elmo?

Elmo: Hmm.

Elmo's not sure.

Elmo's still thinking of what to draw.

Hmm.

[Elmo humming] Alan: Hi, Elmo.

Elmo: Oh!

Oh, hi, Alan.

Oh.

Hey.

It's Martin Luther King Jr. You know, Elmo learned a lot about him in preschool today.

Alan: Oh, you did?

Elmo: Yeah.

Alan: Like what?

Elmo: Oh.

Well, Elmo learned that Dr. King stood up against racism.

Alan: Hm-hmm.

Elmo: Oh, and he wanted everybody to be kind and fair to each other.

Oh, and did you know he was a daddy, too?

Alan: Heh heh.

Yes.

All of those things are very, very true.

Elmo: Uh-huh.

Alan: Martin Luther King Jr. and many, many other people from the civil rights movement brought people together in a peaceful way so that we could all have a place like Sesame Street, where we live and learn and play together.

Elmo: Wow!

You know, Elmo really needs to think of something special to put on his leaf for the peace tree.

Alan: Oh.

You haven't drawn a picture on your leaf yet?

Well, think about something you already do to help people that you can keep doing every day.

So for example... Elmo: Yeah?

Alan: On my leaf, I drew a peace sign... Elmo: Oh!

Alan: and I drew it to stand for peace and respect because everybody deserves to be treated the way they want to be treated.

Elmo: Oh.

Tamir: Last call for leaves for the peace tree.

Elmo: Oh!

Oh, no!

Tamir: Oh.

What's the matter, Elmo?

Alan: Elmo's having a little trouble with his leaf.

Elmo: Yeah.

Elmo can't think of a way that he could spread kindness.

Tamir: Hmm.

Really?

Elmo: Yeah.

Tamir: Oh, Elmo, I kind of figured you were gonna draw a heart on your leaf.

Elmo: A heart?

Tamir: Yeah.

Well, I mean, you know, you're the kindest monster I know.

Elmo: Aw.

Well, thanks, Tamir.

Oh.

Elmo loves being kind to others.

Tamir: Yeah.

You're kind to everyone, and when you do kind things, it makes your heart feel good.

Alan: That sounds just like you, Elmo.

Tamir: Yeah.

Being kind and fair to everyone is part of what Dr. King wished for.

Elmo: Ah.

Well, Elmo's got some drawing to do!

Tamir: Great.

Bring your leaf back to the peace tree when you're finished, OK?

Elmo: OK. Alan: All right.

I'll bring mine now.

Tamir: OK. Great.

Elmo: Oh, oh, oh, Alan.

Alan: Uh-huh?

Elmo: Can Elmo please borrow a crayon?

Thank you!

Alan: Sure!

Draw your heart out!

Elmo: Elmo will!

Ha ha ha!

Let's see.

A heart, a heart.

[Indistinct chatter] Oh, oh, oh!

Here you go, Charlie.

Oh.

Here's Elmo's leaf.

Oh, Elmo drew a heart just like Tamir said.

Tamir: Nice.

Charlie: Right there.

Tamir: Oh, that's perfect.

Elmo: Yeah.

Oh, oh!

Elmo's promise is to do kind things for everybody in the neighborhood.

Charlie: Thanks, Elmo!

Tamir: Yeah, and thank you all for filling our peace tree with such beautiful leaves.

How's it going?

Both: Good!
