What Do You Do with the Mad That You Feel?
In 1969, Fred Rogers appeared before the Senate to argue against cutting federal funding for public broadcasting. During his testimony, Rogers recited a song from his show, What Do You Do with the Mad That You Feel? In this short video, Jon Lefkovitz accompanies Mister Rogers’ words with some music and short scenes from movies like Moonlight, The 400 Blows, Do the Right Thing, Lady Bird, 2001, and Return of the Jedi.

40 years later, this video captures this moment in time, so well, except, we're not all watching the same broadcast. We can't all scream out the window at once and tell the world that we need change. We can scream into our social network of choice and hope the algorithm du jour doesn't throttle our free speech.
