Positive Black Male News: John Legend’s Help ensures all kids deserve great education | The Black Man Can: Harlem, New York – Musically, John Legend has achieved what many artists strive for their whole career — Grammy awards, (he’s won six) platinum albums (he has two) and perhaps, most importantly, respect.
One area Legend will admit he hasn’t yet scratched the surface in has little to do with music.
Education reform has become the entertainer and activist’s number one priority when he’s not in the studio or on tour.
He started a non-profit organization to help him focus his efforts to improve America’s public schools.
“The ‘Show Me’ Campaign is all about fighting poverty,” Legend recently told theGrio’s Todd Johnson. “And we believe that education reform is necessary to achieve that and so we work with great schools around the country that are doing the right things to make sure that kids, no matter where they come from, can get a great education.”
