The real deal is to watch 'Won't You Be My Neighbor?'  Glenbard West alumni production!

Thank for the link, 4winds.  I’ll definitely check that out.

(((the value of radical kindness)))

“Fred’s message, when I distill it, he talked about grace. It’s this idea that kindness is not a naive notion like believing in unicorns and rainbows or something. It’s like oxygen: It is vital, and needs to be nurtured.”

One of the better movies I've seen this year. The comparison of this sweet man and a simpler time with the current state of the USA was really powerful to the whole theater. LOTS of tears in the house.

SPOILER ALERT:

So, in real life some bigot poured caustic chemicals in a public pool when African American kids were first allowed to swim there.

The next show - with no reference to the ugly event - Mr. Rogers invited his mailman (who is black) to cool down with him. They both took off their socks & shoes and sat next to each other with their feet in a kiddie pool. Lots of stories like that....
