I’m so glad that I lived during and after Mr Rogers. He showed what a compassionate person does in all things and how to be a good person. If it weren’t for Mr Rogers I would think that historical figures who change the world with kindness like MLK or Ghandi are fiction, a beacon of nonviolence for the machine to chew up. They didn’t last. But Mr Rogers did. And he changed the world as much as any other great historical figures.
