There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

For those of us who grew up learning about WWII… doesn’t this remind you of the something? In many cities/towns Nazis instituted something that in Polish was called „łapanki”… which can be translated into „captures”… they were capturing anyone who might have any visible Jewish features
