Watch Mister Rogers’ full speech on YouTube.
Mister Rogers saved public broadcasting that day.
He went to the Senate, didn’t yell, didn’t fight, and he saved public broadcasting in the United States that day when public television was just getting started.
He also did the same many years later by saving the VCR and home recording, including DVDs and streaming entertainment that weren’t even thought of at the time.
Mister Rogers is my hero.
