Your Everyday Hero: Fred R.

I'm speaking about Mr. Rogers. With this gentle manners, he taught kids that it's OK go be angry, but handle your anger in a positive way. He started Mr. Rogers Neighborhood from seeing the emerging banality of TV and after the presidential candidate Robert Kennedy was assassinated in 1968. He's an ordained minister and never was preachy nor dogmatic. That's why he's my hero.
