He's a hero of mine. A true pioneer. I am re-posting a video I posted long ago of Mister Rogers speaking at the 1969 senate hearings. It always makes me cry.
I'll leave you with some words:
“You’ve made this day a special day, by just your being you. There’s no person in the whole world like you, and I like you, just the way you are.”
Watch 1969 Senate Hearings on PBS. See more from Mister Rogers.
