A Compassionate Message from Mr. Rogers Continues to Resound

"Whenever evil claims a victory, as it did in Manchester, people search for words of hope. And this week that search led many back deep into their childhood -- to Mr. Rogers' neighborhood, of all places.

"It was Mr. Fred Rogers who once said, 'When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.''

"Thousands shared that quote on social media this week, including a senior writer from Entertainment Weekly named Anthony Breznican."

A recent CBS Evening News "On the Road" segment shared Mr. Breznican's story, including his meeting Fred Rogers on an elevator at a time when he (Anthony) was facing some difficult challenges.
