From Roots to Star Trek to Reading Rainbow, @levarburton knows firsthand the power of storytelling.
It's an honor to have his endorsement of the Open Doors, Open Books Act, legislation I've introduced in Congress to ensure every kid in every corner of the country is able to access books and unlock the power of reading.
@ChaseSupport Incredibly frustrated at having checks to my company being held for 10 days before I can access my funds. Spent an hour on the phone w/ fraud protection who were of no help. Especially one Mr. Rome A, who could not have been more unpleasant!
Realized today that The song ablout @levarburton as Jordy LaForge is my most popular song. So I remastered it! Here you go @StarTrek & #TNG fans.

We fought the good fight for years and I’d do it all over again because I still believe it’s the right thing to do and a cause worth fighting for.

@levarburton Thank you for fighting for us since “Roots”. This same speech could be given today. Sadly. I an so thankful I got to experience Jim Henson, Fred Rogers, Bob Ross, LeVar Burton & countless others on PBS growing up.
From “Roots” to “Reading Rainbow” to “Star Trek” and now to the Mecca!

Y’all… #Sinners is an extraordinary accomplishment by all parties involved both in front of and behind the camera. @michaelb4jordan feasts as does the rest of the cast. However, make no mistake this is Ryan Coogler’s triumph. Next level storytelling. Get thee to a movie theater!
