I like that what Mr. Rogers brings to this testimony is not fame (it was only 1969 and his show wasn’t well-known) but his simple, clear, and guileless message. I’m definitely reminded, too, of Andy’s maxim that the best—indeed the only—way to change the culture is to create more of it Fred Rogers testifies before a senate committee in 1969, arguing for the importance of funding for PBS :: via GOOD
