From the NEH website:
“LeVar Burton’s impact as a storyteller spans time and space. At nineteen years old, he became a household name for his Emmy-nominated portrayal of the adolescent Kunta Kinte in the 1977 television miniseries Roots. Ten years later, he navigated the USS Enterprise as Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. But anyone who attended grade school after 1983, along with their parents, grandparents, teachers, and librarians, know him as LeVar Burton, the magnetic host of the beloved PBS series Reading Rainbow. “
