Mr. Fred Rogers’ Widow Joanne Rogers Talks About The New Documentary About Him | Megyn Kelly TODAY
I know I am not alone in this......Mr. Rogers saved me......I grew up in a very abusive home, and had no Father in my life. Mr. Rogers came into my home every day and showed an angry, scared kid that it would be ok, and that there were good people in the world. His peaceful heart came into my life, and I learned kindness and goodness even while the world around me unraveled. I thank God for his influence in my life, and am proud that his legacy lives on in me. It will live on in my Son as well, and that says more than any other words I can share. Love you Daddy Rogers! You are an inspiration!
Thanks for sharing you beautiful story. I'm so glad he brought peace into your heart. I have tears in my eyes.
Robert Evras that was beautiful. Thank you for sharing that in tribute to the wonderful human being that Mr. Rogers was, and the way that he affected so many in such a positive way.
I trully love that man...:)
I think I understand a little of how you feel, as my father was not exactly a role model.
After the divorce, he and his family hated me and my mom in often very twisted ways.
A mayor influence for me wasn't TV, but a kind teacher, Rose, who had green numbers tattooed on her arm, and yet who could not hate, despite how her family was turned into soap, when she was a child.
Looking back, Rose & Fred Rogers both conversed with children, instead of talking down to them...
Oh my gosh, tears... May you be blessed, and your son.
Very religious man yet never once brought it up and didnt try to shove it down our throats.. Fred Rogers was one of a kind. I dont know of anyone who doesnt love him
He accepted and was kind to everyone, regardless of religion, skin color, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
Miss this man. Watched and so enjoyed as a child and again later in life. Wowed even as an adult. Watching this made me tear up. Guess I didn't realize what an impact he has/d.
What a beautiful soul. RIP.
He didn't have too, his life was the purest example of his faith.
He did bring it up sometimes, but only when he felt it appropriate. His first TV role was a more religious program and they sang Christian songs and stuff. He has mentioned his faith in some interviews but not much more than saying Jesus's lesson of love above all else was his inspiration. I think he was so in tune to the fact that religion didn't matter, we are all capable of unconditional love for one another. When you bring religion to the forefront of that conversation, it detracts the message and divides the audience.
As jesus would have us to be
She married quite possibly one of the greatest men to ever live. I’m sure she knows that.
She chose well. He was truly a saint of our time.
funkster007
Absolutely
Quite possibly? I sincerely think that is an understatement. There will never be someone who touched the lives of so many people in such a profound, loving way. He is absolutely the most amazing person to have ever lived
Jason L
It is an understatement
Then why did he cheat on her?
To the 51 people who disliked this video -- I like you just the way you are.

Perfect
Your outstanding
You're cool.
Shortly after Fred passed away, Joanne edited a book of Fred's quotes and thoughts.At the time, I was working at a network radio news operation, and - on a family visit to Pittsburgh - thought I'd try to interview her for a radio feature. She agreed, and asked what I was doing in Pittsburgh. I told her I was visiting my little brother, who had Down Syndrome, and loved Misterogers. I told her that he loved all the songs. "Then we can do the interview at my place," she said, "and please bring your brother." After the interview, she took my brother's hand and led him to the piano, sat down, and played several of Fred's songs. My brother sang along, with a smile that brightened the room. Earlier this week, I saw the movie, and she was sitting in their home, and that same piano was behind her. When I saw it, I let out a gasp and wept. Words cannot describe the depth of love and admiration I have for Fred and Joanne Rogers. See this movie. It will make you rethink your life and remind you that life is all about love - or the absence of it.
Now _that_ is a treasure beyond price. :)
Thank you for sharing that with us !!!
Tears at your story. Blessings.
😭
MrPerfesser your story is so wonderful, it brought tears to my eyes (that I am trying to hide, because I don’t cry). Thank you for sharing.
Mr. Rogers was one of the few Christians who truly embodied the teachings of Christ...we're truly fortunate for the countless hours he spent over nearly 35 years helping kids understand the often confusing world around them!
Chuck D's All-New Classic TV Clubhouse I think if kids nowdays had him in their life, there would not be the problems there r now.
But Christ isnt real though.
Even if he didn't exist, he still embodies what the character of Jesus was supposed to represent.
Chuck D's All-New Classic TV Clubhouse Friend, you either know nothing about Mr Roger’s spiritual beliefs, or you know absolutely zero about the teachings of Christ!!! Fred was a universalist, not a Christian. He believed that all people were saved, the antithesis of what Jesus Christ teaches! Only one example of his errors in understanding. Unbelievable!
Maranatha.
l c He is real. More real than the air you breathe.
Mr Rogers = Instrument of God.
Totally
"ya think?" :) :) xo
A TRUE instrument of God. Not a person that put on airs to act like one in the public eye but was the same to everyone everywhere all of the time.
Mister Rogers was a true disciple of Christ without sounding preachy. He was an amazing man. I think it is good show for parents to watch to help them with raising children. Our lives get so full and overwhelming that we sometimes don't handle situations as gently and calmly as Mr. Rogers was on his show. He is still a great inspiration today. A saint in my eyes.
Mary Marks his show wasn’t about religion though. People of all religions loved him and could related to the topics. He was a great man and still lives on my kids love Daniel tiger’s neighborhood.
Didi G I don't think that was their point. Their point is he embodied and practiced what Jesus preached, and it's not a surprise, as he was a Presbyterian ordained minister. Most people don't embody their beliefs but he did.
Mary Marks Honestly, that's the best way to be a good Christian. To just be a GOOD person. And he was a GOOD HUMAN BEING. Being a good Christian isn't about preaching to the masses-- some are just called to be loving and caring role models, and (I'm tearing up writing this) he was. He was one in a billion. There was no one else like him.
Mary Marks I’m not religious at all but I love mr Rogers and everything he stood for!
Neee G so true!
Mister Rogers was one of the best human beings that ever lived. I'm glad I got to grow up watching him on television. He was such a wonderful person. He is sorely missed...
He was great everyday after the Magic Garden I wished I could of net him
kornfreak78 my best friend
Joanne Rogers looks amazing for a 90 year old. She doesn't have a slouch or any noticeable stiffness. She walks like any younger person . She is still smart and doesn't appear to have any slow thinking or problem hearing. If I'm around at age 90 I would want to be like her.
SHES 90?!
Thatsswell2012 it’s because she full of love and light. Hate is what breaks us down and makes us suffer
Thatsswell2012 I’m 70, and I think she looks better than I do!
They were vegetarian. I’m betting that helped some.
When she talks for some reason I hear Mr. Rogers. I think it’s because they have the same soul. 💗😢☺️
He had a gentle soul.
He represent who God IS.
OA Omar. - People who love God are his ambassadors to the world to show HIS love. so you can take your religious judgy words somewhere else.
OA Omar, god is represented in the good people do, and Mr. Rogers was a man of god, even having trained as a minister. Mr. Rogers decided to teach children of all faiths, rather than just his own, which is why he chose the path he did. So no, Linda is not disrespecting god.
The Bible teaches us that God is Love. You will find that in 1 John 4:8. Jesus taught that the Second Great Commandment (after loving God) is to love they NEIGHBOR as thyself. That's where the "neighborhood" came from. Fred preached the Gospel and God's love every minute of his life. On rare occasions, he even used words. But he made certain to include people of all faiths - including yours Omar, as part of his beloved neighborhood. Won't you be our neighbor?
God filled up,his 💓 kind man.
Fred Rogers was the textbook example of how to live a life and how to treat people. Imagine a world where all people were like him.
He was the grandfather (figure) I never had. 💓
Angie Lucas that man tought me that everything is OK it's ok to be upset it's ok to cry it's ok to be afraid it's ok to be me and if I could I would hug that man and tell him that you have helped me though so much
I can’t believe Joanne Rogers is 90!!
Julia Duprey doesn’t look a day over 70 she looks pretty good.
RIGHT? When I was a kid, 90 seemed so old. My great gramma was stooped & has crippled hands from arthritis. I know 90 year olds now that could run circles around me in my mid-30s!
90 year olds always looks like a new breed with each generation ! It’s astounding.
Shes such a sweerheart!
So is Joanne from the south? I always thought she was from the Pittsburgh area just like Fred was, but she definitely sounds Southern.
This generation NEEDS Mr. Rogers. What a truly inspirational soul and show. Children world wide loved him and his show. Then to find out that he wasn't just an actor, it was really who he was, just puts the cherry on top. What a kind and gentle man. Full of love and light. PBS should never stop running reruns.
#LongLiveMrRogersNeighborhood #ILoveFredRogers
I was so bullied as a child, and I often felt alone. Mr. Rogers was my friend. He never knew that he made such an impact. I made it through such dark times knowing that he really did like me. I feel now that his sincerity came through so strongly that although in my mind I knew he didn't know me, I so desperately needed his words and believed him; that I was special and had worth just the way I was. He understood me in my childhood frailty. Amazing.
Mr. Rogers is also quoted saying in one of his interviews that "for anyone to make you feel less than who you really are is the greatest evil." Bullies do this. I'm sorry to hear that you were bullied. Those that have a spark and have the most to give often are.
@@maxh771 thank you 🤗
A rare soul who remembered from Heaven the work he needed to do on earth and did it.
He actually helped make the world a better place.
My soul is moved, and I had a tear running down when I heard how he dried that mans feet. 🕊
I think we need Mister Rogers now more than ever! (You can watch it on amazon prime)
You can also order the seasons on dvd from pbs.
Julia Duprey You have the ability to start the change you want to see around you. Mr Rogers was only one person and he had God with him. Therefore with God, all things are possible.
Yes we need him now more than ever
RepublicansAre DomesticTerrorists You need to settle down. Please delete your hurtful comment. Don't worry. Mr. Rogers would have loved you too had he known you personally. People have a capacity for spirituality. It is a real need. It does not make them dupes. Mr. Rogers apparently had Bill Nye on his show. I would call Mr. Rogers a holistic educator. Science, music, art, love, spirituality, etc., etc. That is Mr. Rogers.
Something I have great respect for about Fred Rogers is that he didn't strut around with his chest puffed out and a big cross emblazoned across it. He clearly opposed divisiveness. He wouldn't let any such identity get in the way of his true goal, which was to help people learn that they can be kinder, more understanding, and recognize a world that can be imperfect but truly beautiful in its ups and its downs. I think he took his own ideology to bigger and better places than it had been before. I consider him to be a great humanist for the way he conducted himself with such compassion, as a remarkably wonderful person.
Fred Rogers, a truly beautiful soul, a beautiful person, and a beautiful neighbor. His influence on many generations can’t be matched by anyone today, I truly don’t think. A selfless man who delivered the message of peace, love, tolerability, and friendship to many generations of children, and adults through television for decades, something that no one will ever be able to do today. We only wish he was still with us today, when the world needs more of him more than ever today, an unmatched legend and legacy. Rest in heaven to an amazing soul named Fred Rogers. His graduation speech at Dartmouth college touched me so deeply.
Two public figures in this world whom I feel made a difference for the better was Mister Rogers and Bob Ross. Those two did something extraordinary and touched people right in the heart.
Erin S. Yes!! I just wrote the same thing
I loved Bob Ross too! Watched all his shows. When I was stressed his voiced calmed me down!
Happy trees
I'm 53 and I was also Blessed growing up with Mr Rogers.
I loved Mr Rogers as a kid and as an adult I now realize how profound and wonderful he was. All of us should strive to continue in his footsteps and the world will be a better place.
sara35ish Its almost like we forget the teachings of Mr Rogers. I watched the documentary and feel like my soul has been refreshed.
She is a doll. How lucky she was to have such an amazing man in her life and how very blessed we all were to have had his very special message for as long as we did. God bless you, Mrs Rogers. ❤️
I don’t care who you are, color, creed, gender, culture, old, young, religion....Mr. Rogers has a very very special place in each one of our hearts ❤️ there aren’t very many people who can say that. Thank you for showing us how to deal with life and things we didn’t understand as kids
I remember Mr. Rogers saying "always go to the helpers." I sometimes find it odd that I have to explain this sentence to others. It is a life philosophy that I try to follow and hopefully serve as an example.
designR100 look for the helpers* 🙂
That is my fav quote from him. We need him now more than ever. He was a very kind man.
if you look at mrs rogers face? the peace and contentment there? you can tell that she spent her life knowing that she was loved.
Mrs. Rogers was a big reason for Mr. Rogers' peace and contentment, too.
He is a reminder to treat everyone with kindness and compassion. For one does not know the struggles of another.
When I die, Mr. Rodger’s neighborhood is the version of heaven I want to go to. And then I can see the angel that he has become. He was an angel here on earth and now has his wings up there.
I Agree! Mr. Rogers neighborhood would be the ideal heaven.
Miss. Rogers is just as pleasant as Mr.Rogers
As a kid, I always watched me rogers, but never really payed attention to the important messages he was trying to tell young viewers. Now that I look back at this, I start to tear up knowing that he made such a positive impact on people. We need him now more than ever
We need us adults to step in and be the Mr Rogers in our communities! Be the bigger person, I courage our peers to do the same. Kids learn what they are taught. It didn't come natural for us growing up and kids have way to much pressure on them AND we are not equipping them with what they need. God in Heaven have mercy and help our Country.
Loved him yes
nope. can't happen. I love Mr Rodgers so much but that time is gone. anyone who acted like Mr rodgers would be viewed as a creep.
Oh, no! I agree, nobody can take his place. What I mean is parents being the person to influence our own kids. To many parents are non-existence in kids lives. Hope that makes sense.
James N Brenda it does. =]
Mr. Rogers was a bright spot in my abusive childhood. I sing his music often and thank God for him.
Thanks to Mr. Rogers I work with adults with disabilities. I help them get jobs. Mr. Rogers also helped me through terrible child hood times. Wish he was my father, then there would be more abuse every day, evening, and night. Bless Mrs. Rogers also.
Mr. Rogers is and always will be one of my favorite tv personalities. Totally intelligent and socially aware, and determined to share wisdom and peace with others.
I liked Mr Rogers because the show was low key. No forced yelling and shouting.
YES. I feel as though a lot of the children's shows from my generation (I'm 23) were all about being fast-paced and loud. Maybe I just didn't find the right channels, but other than a couple shows on PBS, nothing really struck me as wholesome and educational as Mr. Rogers.
When I wrote Mr. Rogers, I said your voice is like a mantra for me. When he wrote me back he said he got that from people a lot. He loved hearing from adults by the way.
@@lkcullen1918 This is interesting. I've worked in jobs related to kids where the expected approach is to be loud and bubbly, and this approach is a complete contrast.
Mr. Rogers taught my generation love, compassion, empathy and so many other lessons that were not routinely taught in my home when I was little. He is greatly missed and his widow is such a beautiful soul, as was her husband. We don’t have such enriching programming now for earlier generations... I am so honored to be able to watch the documentary ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mr Rogers showed me that even though my life was full of turmoil and abuse that there are people who care and love me. He changed me and is one of the reasons I believe God exists. He showed his love everyday.
PBS Kids should just yank Daniel Tiger and start airing re-runs of Mister Rogers Neighborhood again.
No doubt! It would probably be less expensive and it would be more helpful for today's children.
I think so too. There is a more significant impact when children connect with an actual person as opposed to a cartoon. The kids don’t even know that an actual person taught all of these lessons when they are watching Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood because it is a cartoon.
Sorry - my grandson loves Daniel Tiger and I love the lessons he learns and the way they are taught. True - it's not Mr. Rogers - but it is a very good program with excellent writing and character development that really connects with the kids and teaches so much. Have you ever watched it before?
They have them on the pbs kids app! My son fell in live with mr. Rogers neighborhood on there :) its awesome!
tsntana amen
I will never forget, meeting him as a child He was so kind and genuine so excited to see the documentary.
You were a fortunate child for having the opportunity to meet him !!!
What was he like?
I loved Mr. Rogers growing up. He was such an important person to me. Years ago I was driving down the highway and I spontaneously started to sing “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”. Moments later I turned on the radio and that was when I learned he had died. I live in Pittsburgh and he is a local legend here. So nice to see the impact he had and continues to have on people around the world. He was truly a great man.
these news anchors need more gentleness and caring, instead of encouraging violence and anger in the news. they need to get rid of their huge egos and do what is right for the public.
They probably did not watch Mr. Rogers as kids.
I just might cry watching this. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was my favorite show to watch. I watched everyday & I loved when the mailman came & brought him videos & he would play them on the picture frame! ❤️
I remember wanting one. Clearly, that was all just imagination. We'll never be able to watch colorful, full-motion videos on something with only the dimensions of a picture frame. ;)
I know I will, I cried during this one. Lol
I was the last generation to get exposed to Mister Rogers when he was originally on tv. Kids today are missing out!
For me it was this and Shining Time Station which as a kid. That was my all time favorite. Probably what got me into storytelling. May have been the seed planting me into filmmaking that early and I didn’t even know it.
Mr. Conductor and his whistle.
Considering I grew a few blocks from a railroad line.
It makes sense.
I am guessing I am a little older, I found eps on youtube and my Daughter loved him "Rogers" she'd say! I loved how she would calmly watch him.
Not too much... PBS has recreated his past shows into Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. They just don’t know that they are listening to the words of Mr. Rogers.
Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood isn't quite the same. I wish they would tone it down... somehow it's not as calming to kids....
I'm 33 and I grew up watching him
Mr. Rogers was a true blessing to me and I made sure that my daughter watched him as a child so that she could experience the kindness and understanding that he showed through that broadcast. He was also a great example of how to accept and embrace our differences because there's only one creator and he created us all...
Thank you God for creating and guiding Mr. Rogers.
My brother used to sing that song and put on a sweater and shoes when we were kids. Mr. Rogers was a staple in our home.
Too cute.
He is a national treasure
A world treasure.
Mister Rogers wrote me letters during the 90's and up until his passing. One of his letters arrived on September 11, 2001, which was so special to me. We exchanged close to 20 letters and I still have them. I am grateful beyond words that he was more than just a famous person, he was also a friend. I miss him.
I really want to see this documentary...I loved Mr.Rogers,and still every time I see clips of his show I smile..he was such a kind man,and had a special way with children that I haven't seen since..he was a very kind soul,and I'm glad this is coming out now because the world needs more kind souls like him and their beautiful and gentle influence...Daniel Tiger was my favorite character,mostly because I love felines,but I thought he was cute and cuddly :)
And bless his widow for coming out to talk about it :)
Its a beautiful documentary. You will really enjoy it
The world needs more like Mr Rogers
I totally agree
Especially now. May he Rest In Peace
Wrote him a letter. He wrote me back. Very personalized and lengthy; based on the content of my letter to him. I was 33 at the time. My sister saw my autographed picture of him inscribed to me and said oh the girls (her daughters) would LOVE this. Wrote him again. He wrote me back to say he would be happy to write them with a photo for each of them. He did. In his letter to my nieces he talked about how lucky they were to have an aunt like me. He is what I fondly refer to as an Uber-Soul. I think about him and cry which I really have to get over because he wouldn't want me to. Thank goodness for reruns right? Love you fellow Neighbors!
I just can’t say enough good about Mr. Rogers. I cried when he died and I still tear up when I see video of him. The tears are bittersweet.
I watched his show all the time. My mother would encourage me to watch it. She loved Mr. Rogers, too, and found him to be wonderful with young children.
I believe that Mr. Rogers influenced my interactions with my young students (K-2), my godchildren and my great-nieces and great-nephews. Like Mr. Rogers, I always told my kids the truth, even if it was unpleasant and scary. I was there to answer their questions, calm their fears, and comfort them if need be. They need to learn in a safe and gentle way that life can be hard and scary sometimes, but that they can get through it either by themselves or with the guidance of a trusted adults. Children are capable of a lot more than most adults give them credit for.
Well said.
I was only 2 when Mr. Rogers came on TV. I LOVED his show. After I had my daughter, I loved him even more. Good, wholesome, family TV 📺 doesn’t even exist anymore.
scrapper900 It does. Not in the same way as Mr. Rogers. But it definitely does.
The documentary brought me to tears at several points and so did this interview. This world needs more Fred Rogers!
Mrs. Rogers is so sweet. You can see so much love coming out of her in things she says, touching his hand, blowing a kiss... I wish we could have heard more of her. I am old enough to have had this show on when I was a kid. It's sad he is gone.
He was a very patient man. Very gracious. Very humble. One of God special creation.
Now more than ever do we need Mister Rogers to be back to help us with the youth in our country and be an example for adults to emulate. He made an impact on my life and taught me many things, all of which still hold a key part in who I am today and how I interact with people day to day.
We shoulda made clones of this man while we had the chance.... his senate speech in 1969 is the most inspiring, motivating, piece of footage ive ever seen. Not only what he said, but why, and how he said it.
And to answer his question, I'd be his neighbor any day. ☺
To quote Senator John Pastore: "I think it's wonderful. I think it's _wonderful."_
I just bought FOREVER postage stamps at my local US postal station. The stamp featured Fred Rogers. Get them while they're still available. So much better than just a generic flag stamp.
Surfview that's not a "generic" flag. that's the American flag. just saying.
My wife and I used them on our wedding invitations. :)
The more I hear about this man, the more I respect and honor him. It's unfortunate that he was such a rarity then and even more now. This was a terrific documentary and I am so thankful that Mr. Ma was inspired to produce it. Hopefully, it will inspire others to imitate this truly great man,
Thank you. We need someone as genuine as Mr. Rogers today. His good sense and caring made a difference for so many people. Yet I feel like so many have forgotten so quickly what he tried to get across to them.
I grew up watching MR Rodgers he was great
I made it 5:18, Officer Clemmons, before breaking down in tears.
I think Fred Rogers was an angel sent to earth to show us what love in the form of a human looks like. I honestly believe that.
He was one of a kind and I was blessed to grow up watching his show and so was my son.
it's too bad there are not more kind souls like him in this world. Looking forward to watching the documentary.
I wish I could tell Mr. Rodgers how much I loved him ❤️and how instrumental he was in my life as a child. Like most I was a PBS kid from a single parent home always in daycare always scared mama struggling just to survive and take care of myself and two siblings. Sesame St. , Electric Company, and Mr. Rodgers was just everything to me . A lot of times as I look back those shows kept us in-front of the t.v. and safe yes my baby sitter . The world we live in has changed so much since, I pray for the children growing up in it ❤️ I feel so blessed to have been apart of a generation that had a chance to experience Mr. Rodgers, I didn’t have my father around Fred was my dad with that being said I had the best Father Figure a girl could have 🙏🏾💙
Mr. Rogers was the Dad I never had. I would watch him every afternoon. Loved this guy.
My kids grew up with Mr. Rogers, I must admit I enjoyed watching it too, my oldest daughter learned its ok to ask for a extra hug. She still does today at 39.
Mr. Rogers was a kind and wonderful man who helped kids feel good about themselves and others. I love him!
I loved Mr Rodgers. Kids dont really care about what age you are, as long as you connect with them
Anyone else thinks she looks like the Queen.
Hahaha yes exactly. But she has a good soul. Lol
She SHOULD be the queen
F MD my immediate thought.
Softer not stiff
Funny enough, Queen Sarah was based on her!
I love this man, he has a LEGION of men and women who grew up in some of the ROUGHEST neighborhoods in the US that love him....DEARLY! To his wonderful wife and family, I'm sure I can speak for many who say thank you for sharing such a beautiful person 🙏🏿😘.
In this modern age of the world filled with computers, I pads, and cell phones! We have the ability to connect with each other on less than a personal level! What Mr. ROGERS did for us all will never be repeated. That is such a loss! May he always rest in peace. God bless!
We need more Mr.Rogers in this world for our children💝
I'm like the lady sobbing and wiping her tears at 11:10 !! 😢😭😍 its happy and good tears. I will forever love this angel, Mr. Fred Rogers!
crazyve26 he tought me that everything is OK it's ok to be upset it's ok to cry it's ok to be me I wish I could just hug him and tell him thank you for everything he's done for me
My heart is bursting ❤️ He was and is such a kind soul. I hope and pray his legacy lights us up and reminds us of our beautiful potential as human beings. 🌟❤️
I didn't grow up watching Mr Rogers and consider myself a secular person, but have always admired him, his show and his message. Saw the movie yesterday and am now an even bigger fan--was either teary-eyed or full blown crying through most of it. Very moving documentary. If there was ever a contemporary person to emulate, Fred Rogers is it.
There Will Never Be Another Fred Rogers But We All Can Be Kind Like Him
I'm crying just reading the comments. I love Mr. Rogers.
We are all Neighbors, life is one big Neighborhood!
Compassion and kindness are key!!! Peace + Blessings to all!
Omg I didn’t realize till she said his name the second time that was yo yo mas son! He was on the show when he was younger
Mr. Rogers gave so much to our World. His Legacy was about teaching love, Peace, and the heart of Mankind, and not COLOR. Thank you for teaching us so much....
Mister Rogers, was the first White man I trusted. He was very pure and sweet.
How sweet and kind Mrs. Rogers is.
Mrs Rogers looks so vibrant!
Keiko Sah it’s the spirit of god
People take note..
How did we get..
sooooooo.
Off
Track...????
We need a heros...like him plus her.....
Thanks!!!!
Fred Rogers walked the way those of his faith are called to do. If Presbyterians named modern saints, Fred would be the prime exemplar.
Mr. Rogers the kindest soft spoken man was our therapy as children. His positive daily influence has stayed with us still today. Thinking of Mr. Rogers puts a smile on your face always.
I had the privilege to meet Francios Clemmons recently. It was such a wonderful experience. I cried at this documentary.
My Aunt always watched Mr. Rogers when she was younger and she loved it and she still does. Then She introduced him to me a few years ago and I instantly fell in "4" with him and the show. ❤👫🌈
Mr Roger's helped me.....I was 8 years old when my life changed forever. My parents divorced and my mom was left to raise 4 kids on her own....no money.....no food.....not even clean clothes to go to school in.....so to hear Mr. Roger's say to me I LIKE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE😢😢 SAVED MY LIFE! He got me through those tough days and I felt as if he was really talking to me....I talked back to him 😂🤣 I remember my brother saying "he cant hear you" BUT I didnt care he was the only person that showed me attention. Thanks Mr. Roger's I'll never forget you! Heaven has a special place for him!
I've seen many people who claim to be Christian/Catholic/Jedi, whatever. Fred Rogers was one of very few I've ever seen that not only practiced, but embodied the values claimed of their beliefs. Amazing person.
Doesnt it seem like Mr. Rogers was on longer than 33 years and yet it hard still hard to believe the show is now 50 years old.
We need more people like Mister Rogers in the world today. 95% of all the shows on tv are complete garbage and filth.
That's what he thought, too. What's interesting is that he conceived of the idea that TV was a real relationship to a child. That's why he went about his business like he did, with the gentle tone and pace suitable for younger children. He tried to provide a safe space for kids to be quiet and thoughtful, as opposed to the loud raucous crap that's everywhere. Guess we have an appetite for crap.
81 people need a hug.
I am 55 and I also grew up watching his shows. May The most high continue to bless his family.
Mr. Rogers should never have died. We need him so badly.
At 74 years of age, it was time for him to go home...
He did his job, he needed to rest
Why am I crying like an infant looking at all this Mr. Roger’s stuff?
Because we cry when we miss our friends
Me too❤
Me too
I grew up with Mr Rogers he was the best !!! thank you Mrs Rogers for sharing him with all of us kids :)
If his wife ever needed to remember what her husband sounded like and be just reminded of him in general, there are tons of footage! She is really awesome and sweet and we will forever miss Mr Rogers.
I believe that she will never forget him, just like his audience of children won't, eventhough they are now adults.
I always loved watching Mr. Rogers neighborhood.
