155: Neighborly Love [Lawful Good pt.2]

Do you know your neighbors? Do you want to? François Clemmons is one of America's iconic examples of neighborly love. Through the combination of the love of his neighbors and his own love of music, we meet history's best neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A powerful advocate for educational television, Mister Rogers taught American children it was okay to feel and how to process big emotions. But his legacy extends to his friends and coworkers too. By turning his program into an example of integration and acceptance Fred Roger’s helped change America and empower Francois Clemons (better known as "Officer Clemmons"), whose story is equally as hopeful.
