Internet Treasure: The Day Mr. Rogers Saved Public Television

Good Morning, SuperForest!

The year was 1969 when Fred Rogers stood before the U.S. Senate to oppose major tax cuts for public television by President Nixon. It only took a few minutes for him to win them over with one of his songs (Of course he did, he’s Mr. Rogers). I know this video has already been featured in a prior post, but it was brought to my attention again not too long ago and I figured it was a perfect slice of inspiration and encouragement to get you through the beginning of the week.

The whole thing is fabulous, but you can skip to 3:14 for the really good stuff.

Love to each of you extra-special cats,
Carla
