Reading Rainbow Honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Like most 80s kids, LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow was a huge part of my childhood and education. I already loved to read, but Reading Rainbow increased that passion by bringing books - and the wisdom they contained - to vibrant life.

LeVar Burton has produced a very special edition of the new Reading Rainbow that tells the story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and teaches young and old about the ugliness of hatred and the beauty of the dream of peaceful coexistence we can all share. This video is a great way to educate your children about civil rights and Dr. King.
