Fred Rogers was born in 1928 just outside of Pittsburgh. He created Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, which lasted from 1968-2001!
He was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That is the highest honor given in the United States to someone who is not in the armed forces. He was also inducted into the Television Hall of Fame, while one of his sweaters was inducted into the Smithsonian.
You can still see clips and complete episodes of his show at pbskids.org
