LeVar Burton’s ‘Reading Rainbow’ Kickstarter Surpasses $1 Million Goal on Day One

The new online tool aims to get kids reading, especially those with fewer resources in their schools and communities.
“‘If you are a reader, then you have the ability to educate yourself,’ Burton said. ‘When you have the ability to be a lifelong learner, there are no limits on what you can acquire in terms of knowledge and information. It represents the ultimate freedom of mankind.'”
