Butterfly in the Sky

Cultures & Communities Festival

For nearly 25 years LeVar Burton was welcomed into countless living rooms and classrooms as the host of Reading Rainbow. He instilled a love of reading in the generations that watched, but perhaps more importantly he served as a positive, Black role model for the young viewers. BUTTERFLY IN THE SKY takes us behind the scenes to look at the show and the man who flew us twice as high over the rainbow.
