John Legend (Blue Banner Biographies) Bonnie Hinman

He combined that talent with determination and hard work to become a successful recording star before he was thirty. He was nominated for eight Grammy awards the first year he was eligible and won three. In 2007, Legend used his celebrity to begin a humanitarian project called the Show Me Campaign. Mbola, Tanzania, has clean water, better crops, medical care, and improved schools because of Legend s efforts. In 2008 he actively supported Barack Obama as a candidate for president and sang at a pre-inaugural party at the Lincoln Memorial.
