Saving American Education: A Message & Music From John Legend October 29, 2010

John Legend is an artist who proves that musicians can make a difference and touch lives in a way that extends beyond their music. In 2004, he stepped into the solo spotlight as a premier singer-songwriter-pianist-performer in his own right with his debut album 'Get Lifted,' earning him three Grammy Awards and selling more than three million copies worldwide. For most performers, achievements of this magnitude would be the culmination of a dream. For Legend, his real goal and passion is to lend his voice to end global poverty as founder of the "Show Me Campaign," which focuses on education reform in the United States. Through his message and his music, Legend engages our community in addressing the issues and problems that are destroying American public education, and celebrate progressive achievements within American public schools.
