#levarburton — Public Fediverse posts

I grew up in a predominantly white neighborhood, and don't recall a single black person as a small child.

#LeVarBurton was the first black person I ever saw on TV. And I instantly loved the show #ReadingRainbow

I fact, I grew up in early education associating being black / poc as someone who was intellectual mentor. It was a bit of a culture shock going to middle school and learning about racism and stereotypes.

Children, by nature, aren't racist. Trashy adults enforce this and I hate so much of my adolescence being exposed to such trash.

Das hier ist wahrscheinlich die widersprüchlichste Filmreihe der Popkultur. Kein anderes Franchise schwankt so radikal zwischen philosophischer Science-Fiction, politischer Allegorie, Alterswerk, Blockbuster-Spektakel und gelegentlichem völligen Wahnsinn. Die dreizehn Kinofilme erzählen nicht nur von der Zukunft der Menschheit. Sie erzählen von Hollywood, vom Kalten Krieg, vom Ende des Kalten Krieges, vom Aufstieg der Nerdkultur und von einer Filmindustrie, die vergessen hat, warum Menschen wie ich „Star Trek“ ursprünglich so sehr geliebt haben. (NUR im TV auf ZDFneo!)

omg my heart :heart_cyber:

Reading Rainbow & Mr Rogers were such integral parts of my childhood.

Speaking of. #LeVarBurton was the first black/poc person I ever saw as a child (growing up in a white neighborhood) so always associate black people with reading knowledge and growth.

READING RAINBOW debuted on this date in 1983.

Levar Burton hosted this Emmy-winning kids’ reading series for 23 years and 155 episodes.

"No young black men were taking the lead in this kind of show,” producer Cecily Truett said in 2017. "He was like Fred Rogers, talking directly to the audience.”

Found these in a box of old mugs that I'd previously packed away. Brought them back out to use.

I had so much #TwinPeaks merchandise, pretty much anything I could get my hands on.

I saw #PatrickStewart in his one-man show of #AChristmasCarol at #CalTech way before he went to Broadway. Such a great intimate venue for that show. And then when the lights went up after the show was over, it turned out that #JonathanFrakes, #MichaelDorn and #LeVarBurton had all been at the show as well.

January 24, 1977 - The TV mini-series ''Roots,'' based on the Alex Haley novel, began airing on ABC.

The story followed an African sold into slavery, and his family’s history through emancipation. It won numerous awards and drew an enormous and broad-based audience (third-highest Nielsen ratings ever for its final episode). 85 percent of all Americans watched at least some part of the series.
