As the nation reels from the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd while in police custody, many Americans struggle to grasp how these crimes against minorities can still occur in the US in 2020.

The Brooklyn Public Library has curated a Black Lives Matter reading list for adults that illuminates the struggles faced by people of color today.

Racism doesn’t always take the form of a Klansman, it’s often born out of apathy. “How To

Be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi, included in the list, helps by identifying all forms of racism, understanding their consequences and working to nip them in the bud before they snowball.

Available at book sellers.

WATCH

It’s typically sunny days on “Sesame Street,” but it will take on a serious theme Saturday at 10 a.m.

The PBS program and CNN will host a 60-minute town hall special for children and families to discuss racism.

Called “Coming Together: Standing Up to Racism,” and airing in response to the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests, the show will talk to kids about prejudice and demonstrations, and teach lessons about embracing diversity and being more empathetic toward others.

The special will be moderated by Big Bird and CNN’s Van Jones and Erica Hill. Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Rosita will answer families’ submitted questions.

“Sesame Street” is no stranger to addressing current events and promoting inclusion. Sesame Workshop, the educational nonprofit behind the show, launched several animated publicservice spots in March to keep children safe at the outset of the pandemic.

In 2019, they introduced a new character, Karli, a young Muppet in foster care. In 2017, a character with autism named Julia premiered on the show.

The town hall special airs on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, also live on the CNN.com homepage and CNN mobile apps.

PLAY

Adam Levine may be famous for making “Moves Like Jagger,” but he’s not the only Maroon 5 member making moves.

Keyboardist PJ Morton launches “The Culture,” a new trivia show celebrating black art.

The livestreamed series will kick off by quizzing Questlove and the co-hosts of his podcast, Laiya St. Clair and Phonte.

Morton began touring with Maroon 5 in 2010 and became an official member in 2012. “I was in South America with Maroon 5 when the quarantine hit,” he tells The Post. “[It] gave me a second to just take a break and look and feel what this was. I felt like we all needed a breather and something a little different.”

Morton found some inspiration from outside of the music world. “I saw Stephen Curry doing some NBA trivia with some NBA players,” he says, “and I was like, ‘Man, that would be cool if we did like an

R&B version of that.’ ”

Morton reached out to Essence magazine, and they collaborated on a series of R&B trivia shows on Facebook Live with guests such as JoJo, Tank and BJ the Chicago Kid.

Then came “The Culture.” “I wanted to expand it past just R&B, past just music, to celebrate black culture in general,” says Morton.

Now “The Culture” is debuting as Black Music Month kicks off — and as the Black Lives Matter movement intensifies in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

“When all of this stuff happened right now, because it’s so heavy, I was like, ‘Aw, man, we don’t need to be playing a game show,’ ” says Morton. “But that’s exactly what we need to be doing, in the sense of shining light on this beautiful culture that we created and kept up . . . We have been the leader in the culture creatively for so many years. It’s the perfect time to shine that light. I don’t think it’s celebrated enough.”

Every Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST on YouTube.
