The Wikipedia page is a bit dry, what's a good read about why he matters to you guys? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeVar_Burton

    He hosted the PBS kids' educational show Reading Rainbow starting in 1983, so anyone roughly 45 and younger likely grew up watching him talk about books and reading. He also had a big role in Star Trek: The Next Generation from 1987-1994, which might have been the most watched Star Trek series, and which was basically a series of lessons in ethical decision-making.
