Happy Birthday: LeVar Burton

LeVar Burton

 Born: February 16, 1957 in Landstuhl, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

I’ve always been interested in gadgets and technology and I’ve always been a reader.

We want a book to be a book. We’ll have all the interactive bells and whistles but our intent is to engage young people in reading, not to show them a movie.

I’m enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.

It’s not about division. It’s not about politics. My concern is how do we come together?
We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.

All literature is political.
