It's "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" Day!

By , About.com GuideMarch 20, 2010

Follow me on:

In honor of Fred Rogers' birthday, March 20 has been declared "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" Day throughout all kingdoms, real or make believe. The point of the holiday is to carry on Mister Rogers' spirit of being neighborly: be connected, strengthen your community ties, reach out to people you've never talked to before.

To celebrate "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" Day, I've posted a review of his 1968 album Let's Be Together Today, an LP that explores the importance of communication between children and their parents. Happy Birthday, Mister Rogers!
