    I’m a Reading Rainbow baby! The song, along w/LaVar’s face and voice play in my mind whenever I think about I. So much love to him and his family! 💐👏🏾🙏🏾

    I hope Mr. Burton understands the impact he had on children like me me in the late 90's watching Reading Rainbow. I was just a young, poor Hispanic kid from the Bronx. His show vastly improved my literacy at a young age, and through that I always excelled in English class K-12. I developed a love for reading books and now I hope to become a screenwriter one day. Thank you for being such a large influence on me in the right way.

    What an articulate, well spoken man…. My Parents were Educators and too my Dad words meant so much… each day we would learn a new word, define it and use it in a sentence. Because of this my Children were blessed with the gift of exceptional communication and expression, rather spoken or written. I also give props to Mr. Levar Burton.. Reading Rainbow was a defining experience. Simply amazing. Thank you….❤

    I grew up watching "Good Times" and was very disappointed when they killed off John Amos. He was no longer with the show because he wasn't afraid to speak his mind about his character. Thanks for briefly speaking about John Amos. Lavar Burton was excellent in the mini-series Roots. He was, and is, an excellent Actor. He's very articulate and super smart.

    Why is it so surprising that we have an education history. Putting aside slavery and USA history. Why is it all these famous people make it so surprising that they have educated family.
    I do understand our history. But many of us have generations of high educated relatives especially in this century
    As we have evolved as American. Natural or naturalized we have a rich and proud ancestry and educated history.
    Some times people seem to be uneducated about their own bloodlines.
    Our family passed down our history. I and my siblings are a 4 generations of educated relatives and it has carried on to 4 more generations.
    Our records were written from slavery.
    I just find it a little condensending to our heritage that these people act so shocked to learn their history and say it as if apologizing for their accomplishment.
    I am not insensitive but speak with Pride.not rhetorical presentation.
    Maybe, I am just sensitive to our having to act like we have to be beholding to our captors.
    I am a descendant of great shoulders and only until we AA and people of color stop acting as if we owe some the right to sit at the table.
    We had all this greatness. When we were captured.
    And remember colored means of many tints.hues spectrum on the color wheel.
    We say we Are PEOPLE of Color. That includes 95% of the world.
    Rarely do the other hosts.speak of their ancestry in a way as if they were less than great.
    Our cultural may be different but Americans come from every SOCIAL. Economic. Educated LEVEL AND FROM MANY CULTURAL DIFFERENCE. EVEN VANCE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT HIS HILLBILLY HERITAGE AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DECLARING IT. WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO CAME TO AMERICA HAD BEEN PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS BUT IT WAS ThE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS OR DESCENDANTS OF MIGRATED ETHNIC GROUPS.
    WE NEED TO BRING MORE AWARENESS TO THE TRUE HISTORY OF AMERICA AND EVERY ETHNIC GROUP.
    MANY PEOPLE. IN 2024- ARE ILLITERATE; NOT BECAUSE THEY weren't taught but because of their culture. That needs to be addressed.
    We need to celebrate every ethnic group.
    My soap box for today , but I am tired. Of our accomplishments being made to seem as if we have to apologize for them.
    I understand what He is saying but we don't have to be surprised. Just say I AM PROUD TO COME FROM A LINEAGE OF EDUCATED FAMILY. AND THEN DO EVERYTHING TO PASS THAT PRIDE DOWN TO EVERY GENERATION.
    I COULD WRITE ON AND ON ANOUT THIS SUBJECT
