pinned down by gunfire from a 12-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl. see how they got the guns and what ended the 35-minute standoff. >> tokyo olympic organizers say the summer games will definitely begin 50 days from today. why japan's top covid adviser says it's a bad idea. >> that doesn't sound good. first here's today's "eye opener." it's your world in 90 seconds. a month-long effort to pull all of the stops. >> president biden has new incentives to get 70% of all adults partially vaccinated by july 4th. >> anheuser-busch announced beer is on them july 4th. that's right, get a shot, have a beer. after being shut down, one of the nation's leading meat suppliers is coming back online. they tracked it back to russia. >> they formed a government to pave the way for benjamin netanyahu's exit. >> shocking moments in orlando, florida, as 12-year-old boy and

14-year-old girl open fire on sheriff's deputies. >> where do you learn to use this at 12? i didn't know how to fire an ak-47. bob baffert is suspended after derby winner medina spirit failed a drug test. and a golfer in florida scored a birdie and got on the wrong side of a bird. and all that matters -- >> legendary coach mike krzyzewski retiring after the upcoming season. >> if i had one game to play in my life, i think it might be this, mike krzyzewski for my life, will be the guy coaching my team. >> on "cbs this morning." >> an italian artist builds -- i'm not kidding -- an invisible sculpture for more than $18,000. the artist said he prefers to think of it as a vacuum. >> there it is. the sculpture is called "i am" as in i'm an idiot.

a blanksie. and someone paid almost $20,000 for this. >> this morning's oprah winfrey -- this morning's eye opener is presented by progressive. >> it's not a scam in somebody -- it is so obvious a scam. >> artist's objective, i guess that. but that's redunculous. >> we have something here on tour in the troern, a beautiful statue. >> you bought it. >> it's called "i am." we welcome you to "cbs this morning." that is really crazy. we're going to begin with president biden, not crazy, taking a big step to get more americans vain. to r high ghly pubcized al may be in % calt h ts at least one ot illi o that more than 162 million of us. that number needs to grow by

more than 18 million to reach mr. biden's goal of 70% by the fourth of july. >> the president has declared june a national month of action and is promoting a blitz of new giveaways to try to reverse falling vaccination rates. weijia jiang is at the white house. what's he offering folks? >> reporter: good morning. all kinds of things. you know some states have already been using giveaways as incentives to encourage people to get vaccinated. and now the white house is partnering with several businesses to try to boost the vaccine rate. that means people who get their shots at cvs have a chance at winning super bowl tickets or free cruises. fans who get vaccinated at major league baseball games could get free tickets. yes, free booze for adults 21 and over from anheuser-busch. with the president selling the slogan "get a shot and have a beer," he announced that four of the country's biggest day care providers will offer free drop-in childcare for parents getting their shots.

this all-out effort comes amid concerns that the average daily vaccination rate is just over one million doses a day. down from its mid-april peak of an average of around 3.3 million doses. a vaccination campaign could be especially important in the south which has lagged behind in getting shots in arms. for example, six southern states have less than one-third of their population fully vaccinated. president biden, the first lady, and vice president harris are expected to hit the road for the final push in what they are calling the "we can do it" outr. gayle? >> weija, thank you. cdc director dr. rochelle walensky joins us now. good morning to you, it's good to see you. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> the biden administration is calling june the month of action. june is normally weddings, graduations, father's day. now month of action, they're saying people get your vaccine.

and we just heard all the incentives being offered. anything from doughnuts, which by the way i did claim, guns, alcohol, sports tickets, free day care. do you think all -- what do you think of all these incentives, number one? and two, do you think they're working? >> you know, june is going to be the month of weddings and the month of vaccinations. so i'm really excited for the month of campaigning for vaccinations ahead. and you know, i think we need to understand that people may have not gotten vaccinated to date for various reasons. it may not have been easy. it may not have been convenient. they may not have had the incentive that they wanted or needed. or they may have questions about the science and the -- and how quickly we were able to get three safe and effective vaccines. so really what this month is going to be about is meeting people where they are, understanding what they need in order to get vaccinated. the information that they need, the resources that they need,

the access that they need. >> they're certainly making it -- they're making it easy and certainly giving access. we coop hearing that we need -- keep hearing that we made it to reach 70%. why is the 70% number so important? >> you know, we want to get the majority of america vaccinated. and after we get to 70%, my goal is going to be to get to 80%. i think what we understand is that this virus is an opportunist, and it will go to places where people are not vaccinated. and so you are safe if you are vaccinated. you are not safe if you are not vaccinated. and my job is to keep america safe. we will work to get to 70% on june 4th. then we will continue to work to get beyond that. >> i like part where you're saying you're safe if are you vaccinated. just so you know, all of us at the table are vaccinated. a lot of people are starting to go back to work. and some of your co-workers will not be vaccinated. how concerned should we be? i got in a cab the other day -- the driver wasn't vaccinated, made me nervous go. to a movie theater, you're

sitting with people, they're not vaccinated. how should we handle this? how worried should we be? i know it's not safe for them as it is for us, what about us who are vaccinated being around those people? >> so for those of us who are vaccinated, we have seen in study after study now not just the clinical trials but in the real-world settings that these vaccines are protecting more than 90% to 95% of people from getting any disease at all. they're even better at protecting against severe disease and hospitalization. so for the most part, nothing's 100% foolproof, but for the most part, if you are vaccinated and you don't have an immunosuppressing diseases, for example, you are satisfy from -- safe from potential disease. we've seen the vaccines are working against the variants that are circulating here. that's a really important component, as well. >> should companies require their employees who are coming back to work be vaccinated? >> you know, i think that's going to have to be at the

individual company level. certainly there may be some places where companies feel like that would be the best way to go, that people would be safer, that people would feel safer coming back into the workplace. that we're going to leave at the company level. >> i'm almost embarrassed to ask you this, but on tiktok there's a video going around right now, have you seen it? somebody did it -- put the coin on your arm, if it stays there, it means that -- that there's a chip in your arm. it's a big thing that's going on tiktok right now. can you put that to rest and say how ridiculous it is? that we are not being injected with chips -- >> we are not being injected with chips. what we're being injected with is this incredible scientific breakthrough that keeps us safe and is effective against something that has killed hundreds of thousands of americans over the last 15 months. >> what concerns you now as we sit here today? this 3rd day of june. i know you wants to g

vaccinated. other than that, what are you worried about? >> i am worried about what's happening around the world. i'm worried about variants if we have continued circulating virus. i'm worried that there will be people who don't believe that this vaccine will protect them and that we are relying on each and every individual to step up. >> all right. we thank you. we saw you throwing out the ball the other day. on a scale of one to ten, what would you give yourself? [ cheers ] >> i'm going for like an eight. >> okay. fair enough. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> bye. >> i think that's -- that's at least an eight. >> yeah. it got pretty close. >> not bad at all. i'll go with a nine. how about that? we have new information this morning on two more cyberattacks targeting new york city's subway system and a ferry service for summer resorts in massachusetts. this follows this week's attack on a giant meat processing company that owns dozens of u.s.

brands. jeff pegues reports now on the growing pressure for the u.s. to strike back. >> reporter: less than two weeks from a summit with russian president vladimir putin, the white house says that all retaliatory options are on the table. >> mr. president, will you retaliate against russia for this latest ransomware attack? >> we're looking closely at that. >> reporter: meat processing company jbs is trying to get fully up and running after the cyberattack which the fbi attributed to a russia-linked ransomware operation known as revil. the fbi says agents are working diligent three bring the threat actors to -- diligently to bring the threat actors on justice. this after an attack on the colonial pipeline which led to the shutdown of the largest fuel pipeline and sparked panic buying at gas stations. another ransomware attack wednesday hit massachusetts steam ship authority which runs ferries to nantucket and martha's vineyard.

and the new york subway system confirmed that it suffered a cyberattack in april. "the new york times" reports the hack was linked to chinese hackers, but the damage was contained. >> there's really no preferred sector or segment of the economy of these ransomware actors. >> reporter: chris krebs is the former director of the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency. what is happening in the world that u.s. companies, u.s. government entities are such popular targets for these hackers? >> you know, the unfortunate reality is that ransomware is a business, and business is good. and until we can disrupt the profitability of the ransomware business model, these events are going to continue to happen. >> reporter: revil, the prime suspect in the jbs attack, is believed to have stolen hundreds of millions of dollars over the years. jbs is expected to resume >> jeff pegues in washington,

d.c. thanks. the future of benjamin netanyahu, israel's longest serving prime minister and a strong u.s. ally, is in serious doubt this morning. his government is about to be toppled by a former partner who has barely enough allies on his side for now to take power. elizabeth palmer has covered israel for many years. liz, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is a real blow to benjamin netanyahu who's now been the prime minister of israel for a record 12 years. the man who looks likely to replace him is the right winger neftaly bennett, a former defense minister and successful software entrepreneur. but he's going to have to share power with other party leaders. the powerful centrist lapid and the man on the right, abbas, from an islamic party representing israeli arabs. now this is historic. it is the first time an arab party will join an governing coalition. when the deal was announced last

night, dung t election in march they mobilized to highlight the fact that the prime minister was on trial for corruption and fraud. but netanyahu who has equally devoted supporters, who believe he's kept them safin a hostile region, saw an attack that left parts of gaza in ruins. a word of caution -- this epic political flight fight is not over. benjamin netanyahu is doing his utmost to undermine the coalition. he tweeted that legislators who are going to have to vote on it taking power should oppose what he called this dangerous left-wing government. so it ain't over until it's over. tony? >> hard to call i-outut between.

[ gunshots ] he's taking fire from a 12-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl from inside the house. police say the two children had fled from a juvenile home northeast of orlando and broken into this unattended house, finding several large firearms. when police arrived, the children opened fire. >> put the guns down now! >> let's not shoot these kids, man. >> 10-4, they're shooting at me. >> reporter: in one point maxwell with his gun drawn murts to himself, appearing to pray for a peaceful outcome.

>> don't make he do this. don't do this. >> reporter: more than 30 minutes into the standoff, aerial footage appears to capture police opening fire. the flashing dots are the bullets coming from the officers assembled behind the tree. police say they started shooting, striking the girl and wounding her after she came outside pointing a shotgun at the officers. the 12-year-old boy who had been carrying an ak-47 surrenders, and the officers rush to administer first aid to the girl. >> whoever shot -- i need the medkits in the garage. >> reporter: none of the officers were injured. the female suspect was transported to a local hospital where she underwent surgery and is in stable condition. in a statement, the juvenile facility where the children were staying said, "these children are in desperate need of care in the appropriate setting which is a higher level of care than we provide." for "cbs this morning," manuel bojorquez, miami.

>> kudos to the officers who clearly did not want to fire in that situation. even though they were under attack. this morning, tokyo marked 50 days until the start of summer olympics. much of japan is still under a covid state of emergency, and many japanese say these games should be called off. as ramy inocencio reports, the chief olympics organizer says the games that were supposed to be held last year cannot be postponed again. >> reporter: as a veiled olympic choir sang with curtain-like covid masks a debatable attempt at artistry, tokyo unveiled this year's gold, silver, and bronze medals and winner's podium with pomp. but popular protests has engulfed the olympic bubble with tokyo 2020 president seiko hashimoto forced to address concerns. "all athletes will be in a bubble to defend their health," she said. "if an outbreak should happen we must be prepared to go without any spectators."

>> it's a tug-of-war between the japanese public opinion -- >> reporter: japan's societal expert say people need to get vaccinated. can japan vaccinate enough to make sure they're protected in the next 60 days? >> i personally think it will be very difficult. >> reporter: the pace of vaccination is slow. the goal -- a distant one million each day. currently half that. more infections and deaths are happening now compared to when tokyo froze the games in march, 2020. and japan's top covid adviser said it's not normal to hold the olympic games in a situation like this. a state of emergency just st extended to june 20th blankets much of japan. thousands have quit as tokyo expects 15,000 athletes fm20 countries and thousands of coaches, officials, and journalists. what is the concern that when all of those tens of thousands of people go home that we might

see another wave of covid? >> that would be the worst case scenario for the tokyo olympics. >> reporter: as the first international athletes now arrive in japan from australia's women's softball team, no olympian knows if they'll fly home carrying a medal or as some medical experts warn carrying covid. for "cbs this morning," ramy inocencio, hong kong. >> not a

welcome back to "cbs this morning" where ourle "48 hours" have an update to a story we first told you about more than two years ago involving two missouri inmates serving extremely long sentences for armed robbery. patrick flaherty and bobby bostick had been in prison for more than two decades trying to turn their lives around. erin moriarty with more from an emotional and unlikely reunion. >> reporter: patrick flaherty never gave up hope that someday he would see his mother again as a free man. >> we can go home. >> yep. >> reporter: this day seemed all

but impossible just two years ago. when we first met flaherty at the jefferson city correctional center in missouri where he has spent much of the past two decades. flaherty was 22 years old in 1999 when he robbed four convenience stores armed with an unloaded b.b. gun. it's a b.b. gun, but it looks like the real thing. >> yes. >> reporter: flaherty thought he'd get a ten-year sentence, and he did -- for each store. and the judge ordere the sentences to run consecutively. >> when you hear the word con secondtive, consecutive, consecutive, and you start thinking in your mind, my god, that's -- that's 40 years. >> rorter: in missouri, inmates have to serve 85% of a prison sentence before they can even request parole. it was a life sentence for his mother, margaret, too. >> you know, i'm in my 70s now. i used to walk out after i

visited him in tears because i never knew if i would be able to see him again. >> reporter: flaherty spent his time going to school, earning degrees and certificates, even learning how to translate textbooks into braille. but none of it bringing him any closer to release. so we began to write letters, thousands of them, gaining a passionate group of supporters who convinced missouri governor mike parson that flaherty, now 44 years old, deserved a second chance. and last friday, flaherty was finally released into the arms. his mom and stepfather. does that give you hope? >> it gives me a lot of hope. a place like this, all you got is hope. that's what i hold to, hope that you're going to get out one day. >> reporter: if flaherty's 40-year sentence for robbery seems excessive, consider bobby bostic. he was 16 in 1995 when he and a friend committed an armed robbery and a carjacking at christmas time.

bostic's 38 firearm was real, and one of his victims was grazed by a bullet. did you intend to hurt him, to kill him? >> no. i intended to hurt or killed him, i would have kept shooting. i didn't intend to hurt him or shoot. i was -- in my young mind, there's no excuse. when i look back, there's no excuse for what i did. >> reporter: but bostic, a juvenile, never expected the judge to rule so harshly. >> i didn't even think i'd get 30. >> reporter: and how many years did you get? >> 241 years. >> reporter: did you think he was irredeemable? >> yes. >> reporter: at the time, judge evelyn baker, now retired, thought the sentence was appropriate for bostic. >> i didn't expect him to survive prison. i figured with this behavior he was going to indwind up dead. >> reporter: instead, when he had money, bostic spent it on college classes, and the teen who never read a book wrote 15 behind bars. and he has held on to hope even

when he watche those with murder convictions go home ahead of him. >> got something to give to the world. i got to act on that hope. i got to just keep going even when this appeal gets denied. i got to keep going. one day something will happen. >> reporter: remarkably the person who most wants to see that happen -- >> 241 years is -- is insanity. when i think back on it. i now say right now it's insanity. he was a kid. he was a little boy. >> reporter: you're the one who sentenced him, judge. >> yes. as he evolved, i have evolved. >> reporter: is it fair to say that the indicates of bobby bostic has haunted you? >> that would be a very true statement. i don't want to go to my grave with bobby incarcerated. i think bobby has so much that he can give to this world. >> reporter: do you think that someday bobby bostic will be walking out the same door? >> 100%. 100%. i think -- ink nex year.

>> reporter: there is hope for bobby bostic. there is a new bill sitting on missouri governor parson's desk waiting for his signature which will give bostic and others who were sentenced as juveniles the ability to petition the parole board for a hearing. but that is no guarantee that bostic will be released. he is a lot closer. i do want to point out under this complicated formula, if the governor does not sign that bill, bostic is eligible for parole -- wait for it -- when he's 112 years old. >> i know. you hear that story and you have to wonder why he is not out today. >> yes. >> that somebody looking at this story, hopefully will step in. this makes no sense to me. >> this is why the judge is speaking out. she even helped him petition the supreme court in 2017 -- >> is there more she can or should do? >> flono. 's it's surprising judges can't

have a do-over. she's coming out -- she's even gl - these guys are forgotten which is why we do these stories. >> i wonder how she came up with the 241 years in the first place. >> there were 17 counts, and then he was, you know, convicted of all. and then she made them consecutive. that's why it's so -- >> the judge has discretion in those cases. >> exactly. >> it's a kid. you can believe in justice and not want to throw away a child. a 16-year-old. >> didn't look like he had remorse. that's what she thought. >> you heard her say she thought he was going die in preciison. she said as he has evolved i have evolved. >> he needs to be out today. thank you. the price of new homes is skyrocketing. we'll show what's behind that. plus, a new government plan to protect babies and their families from sleeping devices that may be unsafe if you have a baby in the house or on the around, you'll want to pain attention to this one. you're watching "cbs this morning." they say to bring only what you can carry.

a dramatic surge in lumber prices is making the dream of homeownership harder to achieve for many americans. the cost of lumber is up 250%, a

big increase in home renovations during the pandemic drove up demand, and sawmills are having trouble keeping up. mireya villarreal is inside a home under construction near birmingham, alabama. what are you finding? >> reporter: you know, good morning, anthony, right now the contractor that is working on this exact house says this framing right here, the cost has gone up more than 300%. the floors that i'm standing on, up 400%. the plywood right here, up more than 900%. the cost is getting so out of control. they are asking the government to step in. but the sawmills that are benefitting from these higher prices say that's a bit of an overreach. hard to tell from this view, but bob dixon's southeast alabama mill is considered small by industry standards. >> the whole game is to get this to somebody else to share, not mine. ripe he says logistical issues like staffing and delivery are making it hard to respond to the increase in lumber demand.

>> the issue now with employees being paid to stay at home. it's not just our industry. it's everywhere you go. >> reporter: in addition to the logistical hurdles, mills are also facing soaring demands for home renovations. the result -- lumber prices have tripled in the last 12 months since april,ou 6,000o the price of a new home. >> it's tough. >> reporter: birmingham builder alicia huey says higher prices threaten her business and price homeowners out of the market. so if this is going up for you, i would imagine then that cost gets pushed on to the homeowner? >> it does. right now i can't tell anybody how much a house is going to cost. >> reporter: what does that do to the american dream? >> kills it. >> reporter: the ripple effect now reaching families that need help the most. the nonprofit habitat for humanity no longer taking applications in birmingham. and huey believes some of the big mills are taking advantage of the situation. >> i think it's great for the lumber mills. >> reporter: home builders have

until now there were no safety standards for infant sleep products like incline and in bed sleepers which is the advocacy consumer group reports is linked to at least 100 infant deaths. the sleepers will face similar regulations as bassinets and cradles. we have been reporting on the dangers of some of the products for years. anna, what does this new rule mean? >> the products are popular. federal regulators say roughly one in three families owns one or more of these products that were never previously regulated. the new regulations will cover any incline sleep product along with in-bed sleepers and baby boxes for infants up to five months old. that covers any product referencing sleep, snooze, dream, or nap. and anything that depicts sleeping or can be described as a bed. millions of these incline products have been voluntarily

recalled including the fisher price rock and play sleeper. nearly 5 million of those were recalled in the cpsc linked it to more than 30 deaths. in 2019 we spoke to two couples whose infants died in a rock and play. >> he was our little baby. our cuddle buddy. >> perfect. she was perfect. >> i don't go a day without thinking about her. >> i would like to raise awareness. there's people out here that are still using the rock and play sleeper that our children died in. >> and guess what. despite recalls, we went online this week, and in ten minutes found more than 50 recalled incline sleepers for sale on facebook marketplace. secondhand sleepers. now, a facebook spokesperson told us that those postings violated company policies, prohibiting the sale of recalled goods, and they have been removed. a spokesperson for fisher price

said product safety is their highest priority, that they voluntarily recalled the rock and play sleeper more than two years ago and monitor secretary marketplaces and work hard to remove listings they have identified. experts say if you own one of these products, do not use them. stop using them, and you should not sell or donate them to anybody else. you can reach out to the company for a refund or a voucher. >> and we had one we went back and got the refund. my heart breaks for those families. something you've talked about before is why these products are so potentially dangerous. can you remind us? >> yeah. so one thing people don't realize, you put a baby into an inclined product. when they fall asleep, their head can fall forward. we pick our head up, but the babies, they don't have the muscles to pick their head back up, so they basically choke off their airway, or they may turn slightly this way and because

the side of the product is soft, they wind up with their face in the soft product and they have suffocated. >> it's such a hard situation, because parents are desperate for sleep of any kind, and these inclines can help with digestion and the rest. it's important now that the consumer product safety commission is going to set standards. there is some reassurance things are safe. anna, thank you very much. i want to remind viewers the american academy of pediatrics says infants should sleep on their backs only and should also sleep on a firm surface in a crib or bassinet that is approved with a fitted sheet own nothing else around them. no blankets, no toys, no bumpers. this does not have to be expensive. you can get a cardboard box, a baby box, put your child in that. it's the safest thing. we did it. it works. >> it does work. >> i'm glad the parents are talking and that anna did the story. those sleep and plays look like a cool thing for the baby, but for the parents, it looks soothing. >> and often the kids love it and it's all you want as a

♪ ♪ as the country debates how schools should teach the role of slavery in our nation's history, author clint smith is taking a critical eye to how it's being portrayed at some important historical sites. his new book is "how the word is passed: a reckoning with the history of slavery across america." smith describes his visits to places including virginia's monticello, louisiana's angola prison and new york city. he examines how they confront or failed tnfront their pbopt fm museum and memorial.

>> part of what i >> part of what i love about this monument and this memorial is that it pays tribute to a collective group of people, sometimes in the early stages of the book i would come down here and just think about all of the people who fought this war to make sure that my ancestors wouldn't remain enslaved and that i'm part of a long lineage and tradition of people who fought for freedom and fought for liberation and fought for opportunities that they knew they might not necessarily see themselves. themselves. the history of slavery is the history of the united states. it was not peripheral to our founding, it was central to it. it is not irrelevant to our contemporary society, it created it. the history is in our soil, it is in our policies, and it must, too, be in our memories. in order for our country to collectively move forward, it is not enough to have a patchwork

of places that are honest about this history while being surrounded by other spaces that undermine it. it must be a collective endeavor to learn and confront the story of slavery and how it shaped the world we live in today. we can learn this history from the scholars who have unearthed generations of evidence of all that slavery was. from the voitsz of the en-- voices of the enslaved and the stories and narratives they left behind. by standing on the land where it happened, by remembering that land, by marking that land, by not allowing what happened there to be forgotten. and by listening to our own families, by sitting down and having conversations with our elders and getting insight into all that they've seen. at some point it is no longer a question of whether we can learn this history but whether or not we have the collective will to reckon with it. >> and clint smith joins us now. good morning, clint. thank you so much for being with

us. >> thank you so much for having me. >> let me start with a question you ask at the end there -- do you think this nation does have the collective will to reckon with this history? >> i think we're moving toward it. i think we certainly have a long way to go. i think if we consider where we were several years ago, i think that our country head a much more sophisticated understanding, at least many people do, of how racism and the history of racism is not just an interpersonal phenomenon but a historic one and a systemic one, one that is embedded into all of our social, economic, and political infrastructure. and i think that we are developing a better understanding, a better framework and better language with which to make sense of why the contemporary landscape of inequality looks the way that it does today and how the reason one community looks one way and another community looks another way is not because of people in those communities, but is because of what's been done generation after generation after generation. >> yeah. this is a fascinating read

because the history is taught differently in the sites that you go to, more honestly in some places than others. one place you go is new york city which -- which i only learned much later in my life was where the economy of slavery was central to the economy of new york city. but you also -- you point out largely how important it was to the u.s. economy. this blew me away. by 1860, the nearly four million enslaved people were by far the country's most valuable economic asset, valued at about $3.5 billion. they were worth more than all the country's manufacturing and railroads cop bs combined. i had no idea, i'll be honest. >> yeah. people know in the abstract that slavery was central to the economic infrastructure of the country in the 18th and 19th century. historians like david blight, who i sight there, really emphasized that in 1860 the four million enslaved black people were worth were m any bank, factory, and railroad combined, worth more than all of the manufacturing in this country. and i think it's important to

recognize how the labor and forced exploitation of millions of enslaved people is quite literally part of the reason why the united states exists as a global economic superpower today. >> i want to second what anthony said about i had no idea. i had spent some time in monticello with tanahasse coates who was doing research for "the water dancer." one of the decide said when people visit, white visitors in particular, get angry because they say we didn't come to hear about thomas jefferson's history, why are you telling us this? they're mad or shocked. and you talk about a conversation with two women, donna and grace. could you talk about that? i think that's pretty typical of how people feel. >> yeah. so i went to monticello, and bri monticello has several tours and one is focused specifically on the history of slavery in monticello and jefferson's relationship to slavery and the experience of the enslaved people who lived at monticello. i was on this tour led by a guy

named david thorson. and these two women, donna and grace, were on the tour, as well. i was watching them during the tour as we -- as david was discussing jefferson's relationship to slavery. and their mouths were agape. they were clearly unnerved. i went up after and asked them what they thought. and they were like, i had no idea that jefferson owned slaves. >> yeah. >> i had no idea that monticello was a plantation. mind you, these are people who bought plane tickets, who got hotel rooms, who rented cars, who came to this home, a pilgrimage almost to see the third president of the united states in his home. they had no conception of this place being a plantation or that this person was an enslave. i think it's a microcosm for how so many people across the country don't understand the history of slavery in any sort of meaningful way and in any way that is commensurate with the impact that it actually has had on this country. >> yeah. as you point out in the book, in many ways they haven't put a face on it. they don't understand that there were children involved and how

billion-dollar settlement. seemed great. it was moving forward. and then people started pointing to something unusual. the black players -- mostly black players in the nfl -- were being measured against a lower benchmark for their prior cognitive performance. it's something in the medical world called race-norming. so in other words, a player would go to the board and say i want to be reviewed, i think i'm having cognitive decline, and the -- the experts would say, well, where did the player start? they wouldn't know, and so they imposed a race norm that was actually lower than the white players. they had a lower standard for black players. and that meant that many players did not qualify for benefits that they might have. so years of debate about this, a lawsuit, and the news is that the nfl and the players have now settled, and the nfl has decided to do away with that medical standard which existed outside of them and appoint a panel with

black doctors, two female doctors, a more diverse collection of experts, and they're going to come up with a new way to evaluate this so you don't have that legacy of systemic racism in the medical world tainting what is a good faith process and a big deal in the world of sports and the nfl. it's a sign of change and also a sign of what was. >> and it's good that they're having the conversation to begin with. talking about this. >> yeah. it's amazing that it existed -- >> i can't believe it's still -- >> incredible. >> yeah. >> at least in this pocket of the world. >> they can make it right. mine is about duke. you know, my favorite son, will, went there, so i love all things duke. i really love coach k. the legendary duke men's basketball coach, you know him, mike krzyzewski, krzyzewski -- i know, the spelling doesn't -- does not go along with the name so it throws me every time. i'll stick with coach k. have you heard he is retiring after the '21/'22 season? say it ain't so, coach.

they got routed by virginia in the acc tournament. his wife was crying, sure he'd be fired. won every year from that point on. >> unbelievable record. >> they know who's going to replace him. a guy that went to duke. he's 33 years old. john scheyer's his name. he's been working under coach k. for the last eight years. he was a player at the time. at 33 he's going to step into the -- >> big shoes to fill. but -- >> they say he's good and a good guy, too. good tradition. congrats. here's mine -- and i'm excited about this. tonight new york city's beacon theater will host an all-star benefit concert with a live audience, yes. live music will be back at love rocks nc kr live music will be back at love rocks nc live music will be back at love rocks nc kr live music will be jon bon jovi bareil bareilles, emily king, lauren haines, and yola, who i caught in rehearsal yesterday.

which does amazing work in new york city. >> it does. now we turn to our series honoring some of the best and brightest in the world of performing arts. "cbs this morning" is sitting down with the five legends becoming kennedy center honorees including violin mega-star midori. vlad duthiers's back with her incredible story. good morning. >> good morning. good to see you again. midori was honored at a ceremony that will air this sunday on cbs. she is no stranger to the spotlight. after she began playing the violin at the age of 3. she played with some of the world's most famous orchestras when she was a child. and now even with decades of experience, music for her is still about learning. ♪ listen to midori play her violin. ♪ and there is no question that she is a musician. one of the finest in the world. ♪ listen to midori speak, and you

might wonder is she also a philosopher? >> i think music is something that lives inside all of us. we have an instrument that's for us to bring out what's inside us. what we have inside is not about talent. it's what we think, it's what we feel, it's what we experience. it's how we register our world. my instrument happens to be the violin. ♪ >> it's been the violin for more than 45 years. born in japan and raised mainly in new york by her violinist mother, midori was considered a prodigy. her name mentioned with the likes of mozart. >> i always took it as, well, okay, that's what they say, and here's what i think. you know, i need to focus on my work. i like focusing on my work. i like doing what i'm doing. i'm really enjoying the learning. and that was my focus. >> the work, the learning, the

focus, all led her to debut with the new york philharmonic at age 11. what was it like stepping out with that orchestra at that age? >> that was so exciting. my mother and i had just come to new york at that point, and then -- then i was performing with them. ♪ >> less than four years later while performing for the legendary conductor leonard ben stein, she broke strings on two violins playing with the boston pops. >> i went on with another violin, and it came really out of this almost natural instinct to continue. >> did you ever struggle with music? >> yes. >> you did? >> yes. i always do. >> you always do? even now? >> i struggle, and that is what actually inspires me to look further. i have so many questions. and i don't have the answers,

but i learn something new. >> her success came with pressures, and when she was in her early 20s, she sought help for an eating disorder. >> i actually think that it was a very important process for me to be able to recognize that i needed the help, to learn to accept the help. and without having had that help, i wouldn't have been able to be treated. it was something actually -- one of the things that i thought was impossible. i'm grateful for it, of course. >> you're grateful for -- >> having been able to have come to the other side of it. it's also a part of me. i don't believe that when we play music that we can just be sharing a part of our lives. music is something that is so truthful. it should betruthful. and it's you as a whole, not as a part. >> now 49, she insists that she has a lot to learn.

♪ but midori also has much to teach. her role in music education is what she hopes is her lasting legacy. her midori and friends foundation, established when she was only 21, brings music education to underserved communities. her nonprofit music sharing does the same internationally. >> okay. are we ready? >> even through the pandemic, she remains dedicated to young students. ♪ we were invited to witness a youth orchestra rehearsal that she helped lead. ♪ >> working with young people has been meaningful to share with them some of my views that how some of my views have been shaped by them. ♪ >> you might not speak the same

language, we might be from different cultures, we might be from different parts of the world, and yet when you look across this planet, what generally brings people together is music. why is that? >> somebody once said to me that it doesn't have an agenda. it has no limitations on what imagination it can unlock or what ideas. in fact, a piece of music could evoke such different ideas from two different people. >> just listening to her play just stirs my soul. it brings tears to my eyes. she's phenomenal. >> just stunning performer. really stunning. >> all encompassing, that's what music is. >> starting a foundation at 21. >> 21 years old. >> i like music that's so truthful. >> has no agenda. >> she's very remarkable.

>> congratulations to her. tomorrow, country music icon and kennedy center honoree garth brooks will share how he's tried to be the same person in and out of the spotlight. you can watch the 43rd annual kennedy center honors this sunday at 8:00, 7:00

our series "a more perfect union" aims to show that what

unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. this morning we're learning about a creative effort to reconnect artists to their community after the pandemic impacted their emotional health and financial well-being. an organization in southern california invited artists to create works on envelopes and gave students a chance to acquire the art in trades. lilia luciano met some of the talent behind a project called "couriers of hope." >> reporter: in long beach, california, a new project is building bridges between artists who endured isolation and economic hardship during the pandemic. >> it's very like symbolic of how we were all stuck behind the windows, and it almost looks sad and lonely. >> reporter: that look of longing resonated with art student kenza moore. it was painted by catherine kaleel who turned months of loneliness into inspiration. what has the pandemic been like for you as an artist? >> it's been, you know, very

solitary. i had to move a lot just trying to find stability. >> reporter: but what grounded her was the canvas. even tiny ones like these envelopes. as part of a community-building project, 80 local artists and 400 students were invited to send and receive messages of hope. like kaleel, moore spent much of the past year by herself, making art and craving a connection. >> i was just lonely, and i just missed people. she showed me a couple of her pieces, and they're really interesting and really make you think. it's so inspiring. >> reporter: the couriers of hope exhibit funded in part by philanthropist john molina is available for everyone to stroll through on line. >> this is inspiration, it's -- it's creating beauty out of situations that nobody would want to find themselves in. >> reporter: inspired by the movement of a rubik's cube, moore explored hope on both

sides of her envelope. >> there's hope, there's change. and you have to look at it from a different perspective. >> reporter: when the pandemic hit, graphic artist jason pereira's business came to a sudden stop. >> our projects, our commissions, graphic design, all that stuff went away. it was very scary. terrifying. >> reporter: when he needed hope, the exhibit delivered. as the artist and resident said the pacific island ethnic art museum, he created three pieces, trading art with 15-year-old lucy montelongo touched his heart. >> that's the one right there. there's something that spoke across the ocean waves. >> reporter: her family is from palau. she saw hope in a dugong, an endangered mammal found in the words there. >> it's olsing. meaning to wait for or the hope to change. >> reporter: lucy's art sits in pereira's studio. he says growing up he rarely saw artists that looked like him and hopes to change that despite the economic uncertainty built into

the profession. >> we live right on the edge of the known and the unknown. it is a very scary place, but it is a very cool place to be to be look and see what can we create. >> every time i look at it, it makes me realize how far i've come. >> reporter: pereira invited lucy to help with a mural promoting mental health and healing. after a year full of reasons to feel hopeless, this project forged friendships and brought a community together through art. for "cbs this morning," lilia luciano, long beach, california. >> you know, for all the suffering we've been through the pandemic, then there's that, all the creativity that's come from it. and people finding ways to connect. >> yeah. all that pain, some beauty in the world. >> yeah. >> figured that out. >> love that. we'll be right back. stay with us.
