Who is My Neighbor?
Nov 24, 2019 • Chris Edmondson
Itʼs been 50 years since Fred Rogers first appeared on TV screens, a gentle and avuncular man who warbled “Wonʼt You Be My Neighbor?” as he changed into a cardigan and sneakers. The low-key, low-tech Mister Rogersʼ Neighborhood presented Rogers as one adult in a busy world who always had time to listen to kids. That legacy burns for many in these turbulent times. An ordained Presbyterian minister, Rogers's faith in Jesus Christ motivated him to love everyone.
