Bill Cosby is not only a legendary television figure, he is also an educator and social activist. On Tuesday November 22, Cosby went door-to-door with the superintendent of New Haven, CT to encourage children to stay in school.
"I want you all to understand the value of your children," Cosby told a crowd of parents, "Find out how your child is doing in school, who your child is playing with."

Although I wasn't able to view the video, I have to admit that in the past I've had some problems with certain parts of Cosby's comments/actions, but I love the door to door (grassroots campaign). I think what Mr. Cosby is doing is fabulous!
