Tonight at 7 p.m. at UWM's Union Wisconsin Room, actor, producer, writer and literacy advocate LeVar Burton will give a talk as part of UWM's Distinguished Lecture Series and Geek Week.
Best known for his role in shows like "Roots," "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and host of the long-running "Reading Rainbow," Burton will speak about “From Roots to Reading Rainbow: The Power of Stories.”
