You guys know I love to read, right? And how concerned I am about illiteracy in the cities. So I am absolutely thrilled to announce that LaVar Burton’s Reading Rainbow Kickstarter raised one million dollars in the first day. Now they’re going for five.
What I didn’t know when I first wrote about it is, they’re developing a classroom version that will be given free to schools in need. Worth a $10 donation, right?
Here’s a tearful LeVar Burton as he reaches the $1 million goal:
