LeVar Burton

Even now, it's still a remarkable story. Ron LeFlore, who was doing hard time armed robbery at the Jackson State Prison got a chance at redemption and made the most of it, and on this date in 1974, made his debut with the Detroit Tigers.

While LeVar Burton has never been to Kalamazoo personally, his show Reading Rainbow did feature a mummy in the Kalamazoo Valley Museum.

The actor tweeted that he believed this to be a scam, but it turns out the organization was just naming their new project without his permission.

Yikes.
