· John Legend wrote
the song “Show Me” as a prayer
about the state of the world and the
individual’s place
in it. John founded the Show Me Campaign in 2007
after visiting Millennium Villages inBonsaaso,Ghana,
and Mbola, Tanzania, and resolving himself to fighting poverty. Show Me has gone from a song
to a call to action to join the movement to end global poverty. Check out the Show Me Campaign at select John
Legend shows this summer or learn more about them online at ShowMeCampaign.org
