Program Description

Event Details

Think of a time as a child when you felt alone, unloved, embarrassed, bullied or scared. Now picture a kind, heartwarming voice talking directly to you saying that it will be ok; you are special, "There is no one like you in the whole world. I like you just the way you are." Historian Jim Gibbons will discuss the life of Fred McFeely Rogers, an American icon of neighborly kindness.
