File:47 Years Ago - On May 1, 1969 Fred Rogers Addressed Congress

Description
In 1969, Fred Rogers was not nationally known when he spoke before the Senate Commerce Committee on behalf of a new national public television system. His address came from his heart and as surprising personal. So much so that his words impacted the gruff chairman, Senator Pastore from Rhode Island.
