LeBron James challenges kids, families to create change 'brick by brick'

When LeBron James took the stage Tuesday night at Cedar Point, the self-proclaimed roller-coaster capital of the world, he gave 7,000 Akron-area kids and family members a thrill, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.

As the crowd screamed, James came out to singer Aloe Blacc performing "The Man,"

James then echoed his message from the ESPYs: Look in the mirror.

He asked the kids and parents to ask themselves “What are we doing to create change?”

James told the crowd — at the amusement park as part of the LeBron James Family Foundation’s We Are Family Reunion — that change in troubled times begins in the community.
