7:04 am
president to resign or be impeached, or be forced from office by his own cabinet. we have a team of reporters covering all angles of this. we start with nancy cordes on capitol hill. how is this being dealt with in the house? >> well, things are moving very quickly, anthony, last night the house speaker nancy pelosi announced that she would be bringing the entire house back tomorrow to vote on a resolution commanding the vice president invoke the 25th amendment and remove the president from office with one week left in his term. if that doesn't work she says they're moving the next day to plan "b," impeachment. >> does it actually make sense? >> i like the 25th amendment because it gets rid of him, he's out of office. >> in her first interview since wednesday's attack on the capitol, house speaker nancy pelosi told "60 minutes" there are multiple avenues to hold president trump accountable. >> this president is guilty of

inciting insurrection. he has to pay a price for that. >> nearly every house democrat has now signed on to the three-page impeachment resolution, accusing the president of inciting an insurrection. >> we're going to the capitol. >> reporter: that means if it comes up for a vote this week it is very likely to pass. >> donald trump may be in the twitter penalty box, but he still has access to the nuclear codes. that's a frightening prospect. >> reporter: suggesting if the article of impeachment passes speaker pelosi could hold off on sending it to the senate. >> just give president-elect biden the hundred days he needs to get his agenda off and running. and maybe we'll send the articles sometime after that. >> reporter: it's unclear if a second impeachment would be more successful in the senate this time. but two republicans are calling on the president to step down. alaska's lisa murkowski and pennsylvania's pat toomey.
7:06 am
>> i think the best way for our country, chuck, is for the president to resign and go away, as soon as possible. >> reporter: many republicans eager to avoid a tough vote insist impeaching president trump will just fan the flames. >> this is a heated political moment. we've got to be able to bring volume down. >> reporter: some of the strongest opposition comes from republicans who led the charge to baselessly contest the election results. >> i do not see how that unifies the country. >> reporter: those republicans are now facing internal condemnation from some of their own gop colleagues. >> they did either to save their own political skins for to make a quick fund raising buck. >> those lawmakers he talked about bring calls from newspapers to resign as corporations from marriott to citibank hit pause on political giving to those who voted against certification of the election and we expect that number of corporations to grow.

munchell of tennessee. munche ll was seen with plastic zip ties to function as makeshift hand ties. arrested over the weekend, jake angeli of arizona, accused of unauthorized entry of a restricted area. adam johnson of florida, seen carrying speaker pelosi's lectern is charged with theft of government property. and the west virginia state representative derek evans, who filmed his protest, resigned saturday, after he was charged with violent entry and disorderly conduct. the timeline is also coming into focus. protesters started violently pushing their way onto the grounds of the capitol building around 1:00 p.m. inside lawmakers were preparing for a joint session of congress in the house chamber to count the electoral votes. by 1:15 the protests were escalating outside. inside senators made their way to the senate chamber for
7:10 am
deliberation. about an hour later the capitol was breached. this video shows lawmakers on the other side of this door as a rioter punches through and breaks the glass. another scene from inside. a lone police officer identified as eugene goodman against a violent mob headed towards the senate chamber. as the officer retreats to the top of the stairs, he briefly blocks the open doorway, a moment later he instead decides to move down the hallway, leading the mob away from the doorway, the move could have saved lives. that open doorway was the entrance to the senate chamber where senators were still in the room. to the right, what's called the ohio clock corridor where more police stalled the mob. vice president pence was pulled from the senate chamber at approximately 2:14. within minutes images posted on twitter showed the mob outside. by 2:17 our producer inside
7:11 am
confirmed the senate chamber was locked down. law enforcement bulletins obtained by cbs news showed that earlier as the president was speaking to the rally pipe bombs were discovered at the republican national committee and democratic national committee headquarters, both walking distance from the capitol. the 12 inch metal pipe bombs had mechanical timers and contained an unknown powder. a source tells cbs news the fbi was able to disrupt a number of individuals from traveling to washington, d.c. before the riot, which means they were urged not to come, or somehow stop the source was not more specific. according to "the washington post," the capitol hill police chief who has submitted his resignation, wanted the national guard on stand by, but house and senate security officials denied the request, both have since resigned, and were unavailable, or declined to comment to the post. >> boy, catherine, your chronology was really chilling. as hard as it is to hear we all
7:12 am
need to hear it, i thank you for that. guys, after we see the video, we knew it was bad but when you see it up close and see how bad and how really flightening it was. my hair is standing up. >> i spent the weekend watching them in full, and it's even more -- the chance to hang mike pence went on longer than that and the violence in the doorway of the speakers entrance to the floor, they were pounding their fists through, they were intimidating the police. >> dragging police officers. >> i hope our viewers and other americans do not turn away thinking they've seen it. >> very good point. >> new images come out every day. we understand it more deeply. >> very good point. as you heard there are some of the pro-trump rioters were chanting hang mike pence. the vice president was forced to shelter in place for hours along with his wife and his daughter who were also in the building at the time. paula reid is at the white house with more on this story. we all know the vice president has been extremely loyal to president trump. how is their relationship now?
7:13 am
i hear that the president hasn't even contacted him since wednesday. >> reporter: good morning, sources tell cbs news that president trump has not spoken to his vice president since last wednesday even know vice president pence has been receiving death threats, president trump coming under criticism waiting until yesterday to order all u.s. flags at half staff in honor of the two capitol police officers who died since the riot. we're told the president, he's here at the white house but he's largely alone. he's surrounded by just a few of his close advisers, including his chief of staff mark meadows and son-in-law jared kushner. with the permanent twitter ban the president is looking for new ways to communicate with supporters and change the conversation. the president is expected to bestow the medal of freedom, the highest civilian honor on congressman jim jordan. jordan was among a handful of lawmakers who objected to the electoral college results even
7:14 am
after that unprecedented and deadly attack on the u.s. capitol. >> paula, thank you. we turn now to the coronavirus, still raging across the u.s. and the vaccination programs that are struggling to keep up. hundreds of older people in florida waited in line for hours over the weekend, hoping there were enough shots for them. nearly 30,000 americans have died from covid-19 in the first ten days of 2021. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in hard hit los angeles, good morning. >> reporter: here in california within the last 11 days they've lost more than 1,900 people who were infected with coronavirus. this morning we're at the l.a. county coroner's office where they're running out of space to house bodies. they've set up a mobile morgue and asked the national guard to help them move bodies. you know, over the last ten months we've let you hear from doctors and nurses and custodians on the front line of the pandemic. but this morning we want you to hear from a chaplain whose job

this morning we are sharing more of our exclusive interview with a woman whose confrontation with a black teenager was caught on camera over the holidays. cell phone video shows miya ponsetto accusing 14-year-old keyon harrold of stealing herrics iphone. she was arraigned on supervised release. she's charged with attempted robbery, attempted grand larceny, endangering the welfare ofassault. we spoke with her and her attorney. we pick up we left off on friday. you seem to have attacked this teenager about the phone, and then it turned out he didn't even have your phone. >> okay -- >> that's the thing -- >> do you want to get to that part? i will tell you -- >> you're 22 years old, but are you old enough to know better -- >> gayle -- the hotel did have my phone. the hotel did end up having me fine. i did get my belongings returned to me.
7:39 am
so maybe it wasn't him. but at the same time, how is it so that as soon as i get asked to leave the premises, after i had accused this person of stealing my phone, how is it that all the sudden they just miraculously have my phone when i come back? and the two -- and the -- it didn't seem as if my accusations really bothered the son and the father because they were just enjoying a nice meal right after this whole encounter. all i'm saying -- >> i don't know if you -- i don't know if you could say -- >> i want this to be over, and i'm sorry. i would like to make this short and sweet -- >> yeah. i want to go back to the district attorney. take us back to that day. we've seen the video. >> so i arrived back to the hotel after grabbing some starbucks. i had noticed my phone had been missing. so i approached the hotel manager, asked him if he could kindly check the footage. in my opinion, i was like, okay, any person walking down could possibly be the person that might have had my phone. i wasn't racial profiling
7:40 am
whatsoever. i am -- i'm puerto rican, a woman of color. i'm italian, greek, puerto rican -- >> you're puerto rican, does that mean you can't be racist because you're a woman of color? >> exactly. >> i would disagree. people of color can be racist, too. do you believe that you should pay a price for this? >> i don't feel that my accusation is a -- is a crime. >> it's more than the accusation. it's the way that you tackled him it seems, on the videotape. what would you do differently? you said that you look at that tape and that's not who you are. >> i think i could have just asked the hotel manager. yes, i could have stepped aside or the father and i. we -- we immediately could have started just speaking at a lower tone and probably that would have handled the whole situation a lot better. >> with all due respect, when mr. harrold was talking to you, it seemed to me that he was responding to you because you had accused his son. >> i'm saying that both of us -- i said both of us -- >> you see two black people --
7:41 am
>> no, i'm not letting him walk away with my phone! this issue is bigger than i think miya is appreciating. and she see its as a very simple thing. >> reporter: attorney sharen ghatan set with ponsetto through the entire interview and wanted her client to feel empowered to tell her own story. she also felt it important to shed light on ponsetto's state of mind. >> let me boil it down. she was a 22-year-old woman alone in new york. no one is with her. her entire contacts, flight arrangements, wi-fi, emails, apple pay, her funds, her money, is all on that phone. she agreed that her behavior and her actions were definitely less than elegant, shall we say, and less than graceful, and less than what anyone else do. she agreed, and she wouldn't have repeated it. >> it was reported that your phone was returned by a uber driver, is that true? >> that is not true. i arrived at the hotel with my
7:42 am
phone in my hand. >> who returned the phone to you? >> the hotel receptionist. >> where had the phone been? >> why don't we ask the hotel receptionist? >> to be honest, i'm telling you, you seem to be not remorseful, to have no contrition, that you're almost a little flippant about this. you have to understand for this teenage boy who says that he was shattered, who said that he was traumatized, this is -- >> i'm traumatized -- >> you're traumatized, too, because. >> i'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. he has honestly -- he's 14. that's what they're claiming. yeah. i'm 22. i have lived probably just the same amount of life as him. like honestly. i'm just as a kid at heart as he is. i feel sorry that i made the family go through all that stress. at the same time it wasn't just them going through that. >> i don't think that you helped yourself by your behavior. >> of course not. >> when you looked at the video, what did you think? what did you think, miya? >> you already asked me that in the beginning of the interview. i'm not going over it again. >> okay. >> i -- i would like to have a
7:43 am

nancy pelosi announced a vote on a resolution demanding that the vice president invoke the 25th amendment if that doesn't work, she says they're moving the next day to plan b. impeachment. >> investigators are exploring whether some protesters came armed to harm lawmakers and even take hostages. sources tell cbs news president trump has not spoken with his vice president since last wednesday, even though vice president pence has been receiving death threats. this morning we're at the l.a. county coroner's office where they're running out of space to house bodies. they've set up a mobile morgue and asked the national guard to help them move bodies. >> it's a sign of the apocolypse. the cleveland browns are moving on to the divisional round of the playoffs. >> the browns racked up 28 points against the steelers in the first quarter. >> cleveland wins 48-37. >> this is the first time the browns have won a playoff game in 26 years.
8:02 am
>> this is a moment, a moment for the cleveland browns. >> first time in 26 years. they've waited a long time. >> yeah. very happy for cleveland. that's great. >> i am too. i am too. with just nine days left in his presidency, donald trump faces becoming the first american president in history to be impeached for a second time. today the house of representatives is expected to introduce this resolution that calls on vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment to remove donald trump from office. house speaker nancy pelosi says that if the resolution fails to get unanimous consent in congress the house will vote on it tomorrow. in an interview with "60 minutes" last night she lashed out for donald trump for his rhetoric that helped fuel last week's capitol assault. >> is anybody running the executive branch of the government? who is running the executive branch? >> sadly, the person that's running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous
8:03 am
president of the united states. and only a number of days until we can be protected from him, but he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him. >> if vice president pence chooses not to invoke the 25th amendment, pelosi says the house will introduce this article of impeachment as early as wednesday. it charges the president with inkitement of insurrection related to last week's riots. we're joined by democratic congressman adam schiff of california chair of the house intelligence committee and one of the house managers during last year's impeachment trial. good morning to you. i think it was a quieter than usual weekend if you're in the news business or politics because the president was unable to tweet. he has only nine days left now in office. i gather you don't have the votes in the senate to actually convict him and get him out of office. so is the impeachment effort in the house really kind of a marker for history?
8:04 am
>> no, i think it's much more than that. i don't know where the votes are in the senate, but i do know where the votes are in the house. in the house we feel that this man is a danger every day he remains in office and that we need to do our constitutional responsibility to protect the country and that means if the president doesn't resign as he should, that's the best thing for the country, but then this president has rarely done what's best for the country, and the vice president doesn't do his job and invoke the 25th amendment, then we're going to have to do ours and impeach him and i think we should move to try the case and convict him and remove him from office as soon as possible. >> if you go forward with it and you're not sure about the senate, are you concerned that the move could tie up or overwhelm president-elect biden's agenda in the first 100 days because everyone will be talking about the trial? >> well, my feeling is, if we impeach him this week, it should be immediately transmitted to the senate and we should try the
8:05 am
case as soon as possible. mitch mcconnell has demonstrated when it comes to jamming supreme court justices through the congress, he can move with great alacrity when he wants to. if he chooses not to, chooses to delay or if some of those that were supporting this challenge to the electors, the baseless challenge, object to moving forward, it's on them what this president may do between now and inauguration day. i don't want that on my conscience. >> assuming unless we hear otherwise that mitch mcconnell would not bring this to a vote in the senate for the reasons that you point out, do you agree with representative clyburn's suggestion you could hold the articles in the house for 100 days or more, given the biden administration a head start before all the impeachment stuff comes to the table? >> ultimately that will be a decision our caucus will make. from my point of view we need to move forward with alacrity and for me, the most important thing is to remove the danger and that means moving forward with the
8:06 am
trial as soon as possible. once he's out of office, that changes the situation, but nonetheless, i think we ought to press forward with a sense of urgency. >> as a former prosecutor, do you think that the president could be held criminally liable by the justice department and should be for the events on wednesday, january 6th? >> i think there should definitely be a criminal investigation and the justice department should follow the facts wherever they lead and that includes when they lead to the president. there is no question that in his actions in georgia, in his actions in inciting the insurrection that he has exposed himself to criminal liability and criminal penalties. but the justice department will have to research and investigate all the facts. there's a lot we don't know about what went on i white house before that insurrection nary mob made its way up the mall towards the capitol that we need to find out and that the justice department ought to find out before making those kind of
8:07 am
decisions. >> on the question of what we don't know, since you raised it, representative clyburn has questioned how the protesters were able to find his unmarked office. nancy pelosi last night on "60 minutes" said this was a well planned, well organized group, and without taking away from the heroism and the courage of most capitol hill police, are you concerned or have you seen evidence that there could be some element here that is an inside job, for lack of a better term? >> well, i don't want to lead to any conclusions, but certainly watching the video footage of what took place, we saw capitol police officers act with great bravery and we saw others engage in what looked like very questionable conduct. there needs to be a full investigation of what went so wrong in terms of security at the capitol. i know from my part in the intelligence committee, we'll be looking at the intelligence issues, that is, what did we foe before about the danger to the capitol and what intelligence
8:08 am
went missing or what failed in terms of the intelligence gathering process and coordination with law enforcement. >> if you could in our final 30 seconds here, congressman, do you feel confident that the inauguration itself be will be safe? >> i do. you know, i think that there certainly may be violence, but i have to imagine and hope and pray that this time the capitol police, the national guard, will be prepared, will understand the risks, but again, this is part of the reason we need to move with alacrity on impeachment. there's certainly a danger that the president will continue to incite his followers to further violent activity aimed at stopping the peaceful transition of power. >> all right. congressman adam schiff, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> ahead, "new york times" best-selling author angie thomas with join us with her young adult novel a prequel to "the hate u give," how she's pushing

8:16 am
ponsetto faces a series of charges including attempted assault. in an exclusive interview, she told us she is sorry. we asked the teen's parents how he's coping with this very traumatic incident and for their reaction to her apology and arrest. >> i'm happy that she's been arrested, but that's only the first step in a very big conversation that needs to happen. here in america that has to do with racial profiling, if i had done that what she had done to my son, i'd number jail now. if i had hurt her in any way, i'd be in jail now. we wouldn't be able to have this conversation. as a black man, every day i walk outside, i have to play the perfect game. almost like throwing a no hitter, just to be believed. no, no, you can't. no, you can't -- >> yes -- >> the hotel -- >> yes -- >> the hotel said that they believe that it should have been
8:17 am
handled differently. >> i'm so angry. i'm so angry at that hotel because this -- this could have been de-escalated. this could have been de-escalated a long time ago. >> we talked to miya ponsetto who says "i am puerto rican, this was not racial profiling." i panicked because i didn't have my phone. she says, "race had nothing to do with this particular incident." and certainly had nothing to do with her targeting your son. what do you think when you hear that? >> no one has to say the "n" word for something to be an act of racism. >> you must have been stunned when you stepped off the elevator with your son. i'm still in shock at this point. i work as hard as i possibly can to put my son in the best scenarios, to give him a chance to win, to give him a chance to be a whole young man, a whole young boy, black boy. we've been all over the world, but to be in our beloved new york city and this happened, i'm
8:18 am
appalled. >> i. an asking you to just -- i am not asking you to justify your behavior or defend her behavior, please know that. her version is that, you know, i was grabbed -- >> pushing her away to protect my son, yes. i'm a man who don't believe in hurting women. first of all. second of all, i do believe in protecting my son. so that is what i did. >> what do you all feel or what do you make of her apology? >> listen, i feel like her apology was, you know, as genuine as when she shushed you. >> you're 22, i -- >> it said a lot. i have an issue with the idea of entitlement versus character. >> well said. >> it's all been tragically consistent. i'll just say that. >> yeah. i apologize, can we move on? those were the exact words that she used with you.
8:19 am
does that sound like an apology? she knew she assaulted a 14-year-old boy, not a guy, not a man. >> reporter: keyon jr. from from a music am family. his mother sings with beyonce, his father a grammy award trumpeter. they are using music to help their son heal from this incident. ♪ keyon junior wrote "unjustified times" and recorded it with friends while he played the drums. i'd like to know how he's doing. >> when i went to hug him from behind because i -- i just -- you know, we have such a great relationship, he said, mom, he tensed up. he literally tensed up. said, mom, can i ask you not to do that? it -- i can't. i can't. i can't. >> why did he ask you not to do that? >> because this young lady, which i will not say her name,
8:20 am
she does not deserve that, this young lady blind sided him in the hotel. he keeps on asking the question why -- like why me, mom? you know i wouldn't steal anything. i didn't know her. why? as a mother to have to answer that question -- >> it's tough to look at her being arrested more than what it is because the person who killed trayvon martin is free, the person who blamed emmett till is still alive, things could have gone another way. >> what does justice look like fo your family at this point? for the both of you? >> justice -- i think the idea of justice just like the idea of the apology is so much more than just saying "i'm sorry," because people can say "i'm sorry" and it's empty. justice has to do with change.
8:21 am
>> yeah. my heart really went out to them because you can still feel the pain. you can still know that their son is still very shattered. they said he can't even look at his phone anymore because there's so much information that comes -- he's in therapy. his family has him in therapy. and you know, there's -- they're both still traumatized, too, still reeling from it. ben crump represents them and was saying they hope that the charges will send a message that just because this woman who appeared to be a white woman, she's now saying she's puerto rican, was believed over the word of the people -- the father and son who said, look, we didn't do this. she's right it could have been de-escalated -- on the tape you can hear keyon sr. saying do the iphone feature, do the iphone -- find my iphone feature. it would have solved it right then and there. >> and if you lose your phone, do you go up to some random person and attack them? >> no. i don't intend to start doing that. i don't -- >> no. >> there's so many layers of wrong here, there are no winners here. there are none. >> all right. ahead, we meet a young woman

welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is time to bring you some of the stories that are "talk of the table" this morning. and miss gayle king is going first. >> i'm going with the police officer -- you've seen this video several times. the guy who was chased up the stairs by the mob during the assault on the capitol. he is being called a hero. that officer was identified by cnn as eugene goodman, and he likely saved lives with his actions that day. here's the moment when he ran up the stairs. it looked like he was running for his life, and it seemed to be the case. you can see him look left where the main entrance to the senate floor is located. he knew that he didn't want to -- didn't want the crowd on that direction -- >> that door right there. >> that door right there. he's looking -- you can see him
8:31 am
looking behind to see anybody's back then. the quick-thinking gunman lured the crowd to the right away from the senate chambers. when the rioters followed they were met by police in a back corridor outside the senate. you can see him push one of the guys hoping that that would sort of tick him off even more than they were lrpd aalready amped u. i look at that totally differently. when i saw him running, i thought that is so frightening. he tried to keep them atbad bt - >> it may well have kept them from getting into the chamber. >> i think it did. >> a lot went wrong with the overwhelm planning, but individual officers were stupendous. >> that's why we're talking about eugene goodman today. bravo to him. my story is a family affair. there was a unique family coaching battle in college basketball over the weekend. dave mcgarity coaches the women's basketball team at won't. marine magarity is the head coach for holy cross. their teams met in what's
8:32 am
believed to be the first father/daughter coaching match-up in division-one history. holy cross won both the saturday and sunday games. maureen magarity is in her first season at holy cross after ten years coaching new hampshire. the two spoke to reporters after the game. >> to be honest, we laugh about it because i don't think we ever thought it would blow up to this. so thank you all. >> it's been a lot of fun. and you know, the journey that maureen and i have had together has been really special. >> dave magarity added there's no question i'm proud of her as a father. he said -- >> i love that -- >> he said he knew she'd be a good coach at the end of her playing career because she was a player first. she was really savvy. but i love there was a great moment at the beginning of the game when they can't shake hands, they bumped elbows. it was a blowout for holy cross. >> i kind of liked that, too. >> yeah. >> the daughter beat the dad. >> a little closer in the rematch. >> i like that.
8:33 am
>> she got the guest best of -- best of them. >> dad caught her well. she is her father's daughter. that's awesome. >> a great moment. >> congrats to them both. mine is about an issue of immense national importance and that is the best fried chicken in america. so here's the battle -- >> popeyes. p popeyes' chicken sandwich. >> this map showed the most popular by state. i attached a study to it. people took -- this map got four million impressions on twitter, most of them negative with people saying there's no way bojangles didn't win, stop the count. and it's got to be capped. i've lived in kentucky for years and never heard of it. that's through. i got thousands of them. gisele here did the amazing work of contacting the company -- >> thanks, issgiselle -- >> to find out what's the deal here. something fishy -- something
8:34 am
chickeny going on. it is real data. but it's not really well labeled as a map. it's not really most popular fried clicken by state, it is -- clicken echicken by state. it's faster growing. the growth during the pandemic. i hope that clears things up, people. and in the meantime, if you would like to continue to express your favorites, i am available on the internet. >> you know how i feel about a popeyes chicken sandwich. good eating. what made you do that? do you even like fried chicken? >> i do. what got plea is i wme -- got m opened this map on new year's eve. i spent most of my life in maryland and florida. and zachzb's and churches are most popular. i have never heard of these places. the map was a little hinky. >> unthing. i lov when people weigh. in people love to weigh in. we're going to talk to angie
8:35 am
thomas. why? she became an international phenomenon in 2017 after the remarkable success of her debut "the hate you give." it's been on the "new york times" bestseller let for more than 200 weeks. you go, angie thomas. it was adapted into a hit movie. amandala stintberg portrayed her and her father. now "concrete rose," brings readers back to the origin of the story. maverick carter, 17 years before the events of "the hate you give." angie thomas joins us for an interview. she's in mississippi, a story you'll see first on "cbs this morning." good to see you, angie thomas. >> thank you so much for having me. >> you got big reason to smile because you know, "the hate you give" was so successful, did you think i need to intention to go back and do a prequel? >> it wasn't.
8:36 am
i thought i was done withgood. >> what happened? >> when i rowrote the india. my readers, that's -- wrote the end. my readers, that's what happened. my readers wanted to know about her dad maverick the most, sometimes more than they wanted to know about star. in "the hate you give," we see him as this father who is very active in his kids' lives, as this upstanding impeachar in the community. -- pillar in the community. but he has a past. he talks about it in "the hate you give," how high once sold drugs and was once in a gang. people ask how did he become the person you see in "the hate you give," and i felt the best way to answer questions was to write a book. >> i was so surprised when i started reading. i went, hey, this goes back to the other story. was there also something -- you talk about different layers of black men's stories which i also thought was interesting. it almost seemed that you were
8:37 am
saying that it can be complicated, it can be layered, but there's a big foundation of black men, who they are, and why they are. i thought this was a very important thing you were also telling, angie. >> absolutely. absolutely. we see so many instances now where black men and black boys aren't humanized. >> yeah. >> they are killed because they're seen more as threats, as things that go bump in the night and not as full human beings. and as an author, i understand the importance of what i do and how it can help shape perspectives and change bias. so when writing "maverick," i'm writing this young man who had done what people would call quote/unquote stereotypical things, yeah, he's in a gang, yeah, he sells drugs. but also he's a young man who wants to be protected. i think that's something we can all identify with as human beings. hes a young man who wants to help his mom out and provide for his family. that's something we can all
8:38 am
identify with. so as an author, i tried to look at the whys and showed the people rather than the issues or the stereotypes. >> it's wise. you talk about the vulnerabilities, angie. talk about that for a second. it was very, very touching -- >> yeah. yeah. there are a lot of scenes in "concrete rose" where we see ha maverick vulnerable, seeing him crying. i think that's a person, a human being. so often society makes black boys feel as if they can't cry, they can't be vulnerable. and that goes hand in hand with dehumanizing them. >> yep. >> again, as an author, it's part of my responsibility to show human beings. so i wanted scenes in there where he cries. in fact, i had so many black men and black boys tell me, please show him crying, please show those scenes, because people think we're not capable of that. >> yeah. >> and it's sad that this is like a bare minimum thing, black men and black boys are asking
8:39 am
for, for me as an author. i figured that's the least i can do. >> yes, black men have feelings. there's a great line in the book where you say sometimes one person's hero is another person's monster. >> yes. i think we're seeing proof of that lately. but it's about perspective. it's about perspective. and maverick says that, in reference to an incident that happens in his community, he also says it in reference to his father who was known around the neighborhood for being a gang legend. and had he been on the news, had his mugshot been on the news, people would assume this is a monster, a heartless man. for maverick, he was his father. for maverick, that was his hero. for maverick he was so much more than a mugshot. we don't nearly talk about human beings enough when it comes to -- when we see people who have committed crimes, we don't talk about the human element enough. >> the effecthas chin
8:40 am
>> par o onsibity. ildren. fami f tt a the family. your b iy layered. >>yes. we don't talk about kids enough. >> your book is very layered. >> thank you. >> listen, we were watching you when tony was doing his chicken story. we saw you, angie thomas. you were laughing. you seemed to have thoughts. do you want to vote for a favorite fried chicken just because we saw you laughing? >> yeah. i will have to say that for mississippi, the best fried chicken is not at a fast food restaurant. >> ooh. fighting words. >> a hole in the wall joint in mississippi to get the good fried chicken. don't do popeyes. >> no? those are fighting words. >> wow. >> you want to name the place in mississippi? what is it? >> well, there are several. a lot -- >> give me one. >> two sisters. >> who? who? >> two sisters.
8:41 am
>> two sisters. okay. >> all right. >> if i'm in mississippi, i'm going there. thank you. the book, "concrete rose," goes on sale. where does the title come from quickly? what is that? >> it comes from a tupac poem called "the rose from grew from concrete." >> yes, yes. thank you so much. always good to see you. >> i can't believe you didn't think i liked fry ed chicken. like not liking dogs or laughing -- >> no, i asked. i've never seen you eat fried chicken. >> he likes smiling. all right. ahead, how a north carolina woman's love of horses -- you're lucky i'm married. people would be running the other direction. a lot of horses helping children learn to love literature. >> do you like horses? >> i do
8:45 am
this morning we want to z s introduce you to a north carolina woman bringing together two of her passions, horses and reading, to help bridge the literacy gap among children. it's a significant gap. a national study found 35% of fourth graders read at or above grade level. they're not considered proficient. vlad duthiers shows us the cowgirl who's trying to change that by trailblazing new ways to get kids engaged. >> have you ever seen a horse before? thank you so much. >> bring some more books.
8:46 am
thank you. >> reporter: every month, caitlin juliett goodrich sharca ii n gooch takes books from the land of her childhood and leads them toward one goal -- inspiring kid to read. >> i noticed that the literacy rates in our country need some improvement. so with volunteering with children in day care centers and after-school programs, kids always love to see pictures and videos of the horses. they would beg their parents to come out to my house. >> reporter: that experience inspired her to combine her lifelong life of reading and horses. >> i'm very blessed to have all of these amazing horses, this amazing barn. i just want to share it with children. and why not use that energy that they have when they see the horses to get them excited about reading? >> reporter: for three years, she poured that excitement into saddle up and read, a nonprofit that encourages kids to read while interacting with horses. >> i would take a horse in the
8:47 am
horse trailer, books, and set up, and i'll walk the horse around until kids come outside. because who doesn't notice a horse walking around a neighborhood? their mouths drop wide open, and sometimes kids go like this because they're so excited. they don't know what to do. >> reporter: saddle up and read is gaining national attention, including a shout out from oprah winfrey on twitter. the small north carolina community has already taken notice. >> she goes above and beyond by helping kids learn how to read in a unique way. and every time she comes anywhere, it's a flock of people that want to just come and be around her and just experience reading for the first time. >> she has the patience to teach riding, to teach kids to read, to take the time with them. >> reporter: caitlin's parents say her passion has always shown through. even as a little girl. >> she's always had a heart for animals, a heart for children. she just has that sparkle in her
8:48 am
eye when she's around them. >> reporter: and this cowgirl wants to share that love with a diverse generation of kids. >> when i was younger, people could not believe that i had horses because i am black. so i'm doing my very best to get out there and show other kids of color that this is very possible for them. and it's really disheartening to hear some of their stories because they're at these barns where they want to feel welcome and they feel like, you know, all eyes are on them because they are black. >> reporter: what do you think is the magic behind the combination of the horses and reading? >> the horses bring this magic that's like -- they can't talk for one. so if a child does mess up while they're reading or learning something new, the horse isn't going to say anything. they're really nonjudgmental. >> reporter: caitlin is breaking down barriers and building up readers and riders. >> this could be a start for her
8:49 am
with her little horse journey and just inspeiring us to give back and donate to our communities. >> she dreams to one day open a brick and mortar store for saddle up and read. she says she's already raised nearly $30,000 from people around the country who want to help. what a great story. >> wonderful story. >> what a great person. yeah. the message that she's sending -- >> it's interesting because i would have never thought to put these two together. >> yes. >> this is such a critical moment for kids when they're reading. it's such a great way to inspire them. >> says something again about exposure. >> exposure. >> exposing people to things that they don't normally get to see. >> exactly right. exactly right. >> all right. thanks. you're watching "cbs this morning." stay with us. morning we, wha o shows
