On March 20, people all over the world will be honoring the memory of Fred Rogers (aka Mister Rogers) by wearing their favorite sweater.

Fred Rogers is one of my beloved heroes. He was an exceptionally kind, gentle soul that advocated relentlessly for children. I grew up with him reminding to make the most of each beautiful day. If any of you grew up with Mister Rogers and are thankful for his impact on your (or your kids') life, break out your favorite sweater on March 20! I have a red cardigan that I am planning to wear.

Here's a link to a video Rogers defending the value of PBS to the US Senate in 1969. If you click- watch all the way to the end- it's amazing!
