Nickelodeon plans to revive its acclaimed Nick News franchise with an hour-long special about race that will aim to promote the voices and experiences of Black children across the country.
Kids, Race and Unity: A Nick News Special will air on June 29 at 7 p.m. EST and will be hosted by Alicia Keys.
Black Lives Matter leaders will answer questions from kids and offer families tools for constructive conversations about race and inclusivity.
