[Music] this is a great museum where are we
we're at the Native American section would it be great if we could actually

American history you would come on let's get bored into the past don't be silly
[Music]
you guys take a look at this is this
Puerto Rico sure is a beautiful place Yolanda have you ever been there of
course silly that's where I come from but probably can find where we all come
from it's so kind some more I don't know
anyone can wear such a heavy mask be so hard to carry around other cultures did
hey that stuff looks like it's from Ghana you know Ghana used to be called the Gold Coast because of its heavy trade
and gold let's see what else they have [Music] [Laughter]
the Asians came to look for jobs on the railroads and mining camps lilac chen
was the first woman to fight for the rights of the asian-american women they
came from great culture yeah it's over 5,000 years old
they must be one of the oldest civilizations and biggest [Music]
hey this is a model Benjamin batteries house benjamin banneker a famous
afro-american help survey the site of the u.s. capital washington DC sent
quaid african prince was famous for his way and dealing with kidnappers now that's so now I'd like to me it would be
great if we could get on our skateboards and go back into American history and meet all these people if this were only
a doorway to the past instead of a wall with photographs on it Hey would you go I don't know where'd
she go it disappeared wait for me I want to meet some famous Americans too
we always we're in a time tone skateboarding for history double whammy
[Music] to be continued [Music]
[Applause] what do you want to know
[Music] well I had a friend an American friend
in fact an American kid live inside an American town
if that sounds like you it sounds like me cuz we've all got a claim to the name of this American place for all kinds of
faces they're not just stamped out the same there's not just one count American but
breath there isn't just one American smile there is one merica way to be it's
up to you it's a matter style sooner or later by playing footer graders some
families came to stay from some other places with all kinds of face to make
all the American ways well there's not just one count American footprint
Burton style there isn't one America way to be you got your own way to crack a
smile while we're on the subject I'm here to tell you that the United States of
America isn't the only country to use this America handle that you may already
know how people on the continent of Europe sometimes call themselves Europeans instead of French or German or
Swiss or whatever well the country is over here on the North and South American continents sometimes used the
name American the same way whether they're from Canada or Newburgh Columbia Uruguay or Paraguay Panama or Rico or
Peru Venezuela well there's not just one American
footprint not just one American smile it's bowling ba*ls American place be now
don't get Alaska or there so if you got a friend and American friend then he does sing better than you
well don't let it fret you cuz brother I'll bet you that you can read all through
[Music]
[Music]
[Music] many years ago in a faraway place was a
beautiful land where people from different countries had come to leave everything they planted butall and no
one was ever sick or hungry there was only one problem
no one was friendly honey where's Chaka
and then one day a stranger appeared
[Music] [Applause]
[Music]
let's eat something today doctor no y-you what do you want I'm a
weary traveler looking for food and a place to rest I don't have any money
ah but I can entertain you and your family in exchange for your kindness
what magic is this what have you done daddy boy hey boy back here buddy
[Music] quietly listen we are poor people and we
have nothing to spare on your kind you you are not one of my people go away you
are not wanted here
my friend it looks like they're not ready for you yet we try something
simpler the next place hello who have
come a long way today I was wondering if you could give me something to eat and
let me sleep for a while in your stable country as soon as I've rested I'll be on my way I don't have any money but I
can entertain you in exchange for your generosity [Music]
[Applause] I'm sorry I have no time for such foolishness
last night we were robbed of everything we had we have no food you all have to
look us way I don't like your looks
anyway look at your clothes you may as well leave there's nothing
for you here
you know I think this is going to be harder than I thought
[Music]
I'll try once more it's alright I'm just
a lonely traveler looking for food and a place to rest could you perhaps give me
some leftovers and let me sleep under one of your trees I don't have money but I can entertain you and your families oh
[Music]
[Music] I don't see how you have the nerve to
ask me for something after the way you've just scared me sneaking around people's doors but I didn't mean to
spread I have nothing to eat here anyway you'll have to go somewhere else why
don't you look for someone like yourself huh there are all kinds of strange people around here
[Music]
I think it's time
[Music]
[Music] this is Lauer who will be Abby
sounds familiar
[Music]
how do you know that song it's a folk song for my country in my travels I've
heard songs from many lands since you have no food perhaps you'd like to join
me for a modest lunch that looks like nothing but boiling water at first glance but soon after I add magic soup
stock we shall have a delicious part of hot steaming soup
[Music] I have to let it to let it steep for a
while to bring out the flavor [Music]
do you play that so beautifully
that that tool is from my country but how do you know it
he's playing that song I used to sing it as a child in my mother's arms ever did
you learn it I've been many places
what's this he's making soup with a magic stone I saw him put it in with my
own eyes looks like hot water to me well it has
to simmer give it time if we added a little salt let's try the sorceress
[Music]
that's a little better but it still needs a little something you know in
Mexico where I come from we often use onions and peppers to flavor our food I
think I might have a few at home bamboo shoots are added to many dishes in Japan
I had been saving some for my dinner tonight but perhaps if we put some in
the soup that would be fine have some
yuca from our Rico delicious my mother gave me some Chinese
mushrooms to add corn soup is cooked by many American Indians I'll add the corn
to this suit here is some okra in Africa
it is used to help thicken soups in Germany we put kuraby in our soup
Hey [Music] mmm it tastes good ah that soups don't
really worked [Music]
huh I'm so sorry I was rude to you
earlier today it's just that I all of us were suspicious of anyone who looked a little
different we'd like to make it up to you please stay a little longer and I'll
show you some real hospitality you know I can't stay I have to continue on my journey good meal with friends is enough
for me but keep the soup stone and promise me that you'll all use it as often as you can but that's your magic stone how are you
gonna eat on your journey without it there's no magic in that stone I did
nothing that that you couldn't have done yourselves a long time ago but keep the
stone as a symbol of the lesson that you've learned today
[Music]
[Applause] [Music]
what would you do how would you feel
[Music]
[Music]
hi oh hi Tracy well what are you doing here I thought
you were going out to play Rudy today I was what happened I thought he was nice
yes but offers on the friends are black and they don't want to play with me because I'm not well what about Rudy
we're still friends I guess but I feel funny when we're around these other kids
how would you feel if someone didn't want to play with you because you were different I'd feel unwanted like people
would never ever want to play with me again if I wanted to play with him I might be sad but I might go off and find
someone else to play with I think they were stupid I wouldn't care I got other friends how would you feel

have to be very careful it's very old boy it sure looks it yeah what's it say
read it the journal of William topor oh boy you read it Willy it was your
great-great-grandfather Sunday March 4th
1873 an event has occurred which I must write down it happened on my third voyage the
second aboard Whaler the badly wounded old Indian that I had smuggled aboard from off the coast of Brazil was close
to death late that night I gently carried the old man topside knowing he
would die for sure if he stayed longer in the hole I treated and dressed his
name's thought was of little use and through it all took I email so that was his name
clung fast to a good-sized medallion fixed to a long cold chain around his neck some kind of jewelry I think here's
a picture of him saw me at work brief
chant Danny took the chant from around his neck and with great effort stress
stutters and saying this is the sacred medallion of my people in our ancestors
as I am dying and now entrusted to you as it was given
to me to guard and keep let no evil man possess it you too must pass it on to
one as birthday as yourself before you die Chucky
Emma's hands clasp mind and I grasped the chain then he fell back silent his
eyes staring off he had lived long enough to pass on the medallion now he
was dead and the medallion was in my keeping this said quick Willie see if
the maps there is it the map yeah but part of its been torn out what's
that writing over there the only clue that I will send x marks the beginning

[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music] Frank so mr. Howard for the buttons buns
or I usually get a buck-and-a-half farm how about 50 cents 50 cents 50 cent I
suppose you want one of these - no I'm not a pirate I just want a button to
kiss me love Puerto Rican you sure your partner Rican you don't look Potter akin to me you just mean I don't fit your
stereotype Josey Sanchez sounds Irish I suppose no stereotype is Greek to me
where'd you get a final a word like that stereotype it's like when you have a
picture in your head of exactly how a group of people is supposed to be and you think of everybody in that group
should not show a picture then you have a stereotype it's like thinking a person
is smart just because they were glasses huh well yes that is one kind of
stereotype some people have the idea that reading books and wearing glasses go together so if you wear them you must
be a bookworm and no good at sports but [Applause]
suppose you like reading and playing ball but no one ever asks you to join
the game that's when stereotypes hurt people the word stereotype originally
came from the name for a kind of printing plate cast from a mold of typeset letters
stereotype and that's the way some persons think of other groups of people
as if they were cast from the mold and all exactly alike
I'm seeing more clearly now it's like looking at all those uniforms they kind
of forget how different the person's wearing them all all right you've got it
you're not the stereotype street vendor yourself you know just between you and me I'm actually a brain surgeon how many of
these do you want two or three just one and keep the change change from what my
is a $5
[Music] [Applause]

there was a time long ago when all the fish looked the same big or small
young or old they all had the same shape and coloring all day long they swam and
played together at the bottom of the sea
lived the hermit crab the only sea creature that wasn't the same as the others wherever he went he was hidden
from sight by his stony shell as the other fish played he crept slowly along
the ocean floor complaining listened to them always laughing and playing but
never with me Oh No don't ask me to join in the fun don't ask me to racer play games oh fiction
[Music] [Laughter]
deep inside his cave the hermit crab worked magic he had learned many many
years ago this will fix them if they don't want to play with someone who
looks different I'll make sure that they're all different then none of them will play together anymore
[Laughter] [Music]
what's happened whoa we're all different and ugly
[Music]

the same inside as we were yesterday there's no reason we can't still be friends

their games even more fun than before [Applause]

should've made you all disappear instead of just changing you who are you how
come we never saw you before I hid I didn't think you wanted me to
play with you because I was different well we're all different now why don't
