A Look Back at the "Neighborhood" as Mr. Rogers Statue is Unveiled


"Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood" began broadcasting more than 40 years ago, and though the show ceased production in 2001, two years before Fred Rogers passed away, it has left an imprint on educational programming and generations of parents and children. This morning a statue of Mr. Rogers was unveiled on Pittsburgh’s North Shore. And this weekend the "Neighborhood" set will be open to the public at the WQED studios in Oakland.

DUQ's Larkin Page-Jacobs takes a look at the endearing legacy of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood."
