Description

When President Trump's executive order banned DEI programs throughout the government, the United States Marine Band was forced to cancel a planned concert with teens from Equity Arc, a nonprofit organization that provides mentoring for young musicians of color. That's when veteran military musicians answered the call to step in. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
