Hi. LeVar Burton here. You may know me as Kunta Kinte, from ROOTS, or Geordi La Forge, from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
You also may have grown up with me on Reading Rainbow.
It was my mother who taught me that, by picking up a book, I could "go anywhere" and "be anything." Ever since Reading Rainbow began in 1983, I have dedicated myself to fostering a love of reading in children, just as my mother did for me.
Over the past year, I have watched Kickstarter bring communities together to support artists and inventors. Again and again, I have been inspired by watching like-minded people team up to accomplish impossible dreams, and to change the world.
Now, I am hoping you will join me on my mission: to bring Reading Rainbow back for every child, everywhere.
Together, we can change the lives of millions of children. But you don't have to take my word for it: just keep reading!
BUTTERFLY IN THE SKYYYYYYY
I CAN FLY TWICE AS HIIIIIIIIIIGH
edit: pitched in 10 bucks cos i can spare it (canceling my cable in a bit, so that should be an extra ~110 bucks a month) this month and cos FUCK YEAH READING RAINBOW
i used to love this show because Geordi and Data were my favorite characters on TNG, and this was on right after TNG (and maybe DS9 and Voyager, too) aired, so I literally got to watch Levar be awesome for like 2 hours straight.
merged the threads but left a redirect, this is too important to miss
Wallet opened. It's LeVar Fucking Burton. That's all you need to know.
Alright, I'm in once next paychecks come around. Levar can have my fucking money any time he wants it.
lol it's already over the 1/2 way mark, and it's been on for what... 7 hours? That is fantastic.
It seems Levar is up for an AMA on reddit tomorrow.
Get ready if that's your thing.
Wow@$400 bracket.
You can wear the Visor for $10,000. Incredible.
I was going to throw some money in next paycheck, but it looks like it's going to meet it's goal by the end of the day lol
yooooo shared this shit on facebook
Oh shit, it's Toby, I mean Kuntakinte (sp?)
This was one of my favorite shows growing up and frankly we could use more good shit like this in life right now. I actually credit this show with helping converting me to read more.
Finally a kickstarter I can agree with.
Pretty much 3/4 there now. Just chose to congrats him on Twitter.

I wanna see Bill Nye kickstarter up some new episodes now.
Hell, I'd like to see more programming like Newton's Apple and Square One Television pop up.
Maybe even a contemporary show for programming and technical internet stuff. "Kids, grab your Raspberry Pi's, you can try this too."
I think this is the first time I've been able to watch the donation amount go up by hundreds of dollars a tick in under a minute.
