In August 1968, the country was still reeling from the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the race riots that followed.

A children’s show out of Pittsburgh took a new approach. Fred Rogers met François Clemmons at a church service and asked him to join the show. "Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood" introduced Officer Clemmons, a black police officer who was a kindly, responsible authority figure and was Mr. Roger’s equal, colleague and neighbor.

A year later in 1969, Mr. Rogers invited Officer Clemmons to join him and cool his feet in a plastic wading pool, breaking a well-known color barrier. And there they were, brown feet and white feet, side by side in the water, silently, contemplatively, without comment. The episode culminated with Rogers drying off Clemmons’ feet.

Twenty-five years later, when François Clemmons retired, his last scene on the show revisited that same wading pool, this time reminiscing. Officer Clemmons asked Mr. Rogers what he’d been thinking during their silent interlude a quarter century before. Fred Rogers’ answer was that he’d been thinking of the many ways people say, “I love you.”

Happy Mr. Rogers Day (March 20)
