Did you or your station pose for a photograph honoring Mister Rogers and the 45th anniversary of his famous speech to the U.S. Senate after funding cuts were proposed?
Not only was all public media funding restored after his speech, it helped increase future funding.
To honor Fred Rogers' lifelong support of public media on Thursday, May 1, 2014, Protect My Public Media honored him and asked others to participate by donning a Fred Rogers' style sweater or cardigan and snapping a photo of themselves to be posted on the PMPM website.
If you've not heard Mister Rogers speech, listen to his warm and wonderful delivery to the Senate. It still resonates with everyone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXEuEUQIP3Q
