"Sunday Morning" looks back at historical events on this date.
How wildlife crossings protect both animals and people
To protect the movement of wildlife impeded by busy roadways, a series of manmade overpasses and underpasses throughout the United States helps animals big and small safely get across the street, preventing collisions and saving lives. About 1,500 of these structures already have been built. Correspondent Conor Knighton looks at how they have protected genetic diversity in animal populations while also greatly reducing roadkill. He also visits the site of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing near Los Angeles, which when complete will help cougars cross one of the busiest highways in the country.

Colombia's blooming bounty of flowers
The optimal soil and climate of Colombia's flower-growing regions have made that South American country the world's "flower basket." In fact, 75% of cut flowers imported into the United States are from Colombia. Correspondent Lilia Luciano visits a family farm high atop the mountains outside of Medellin, where four generations have been working the fields; and attends the annual Festival of the Flowers (Feria de las Flores) to celebrate the beauty and bounty of their blooms.
How Houston is successfully reducing homelessness
In 2012, the nation's fourth-largest city went all-in on a new system to address homelessness in which dozens of agencies join forces under a single umbrella organization to put those without homes in their own apartments, rather than in shelter beds. Correspondent Martha Teichner looks at a concept that has succeeded in reducing homelessness in the greater Houston area by 63%.
Jerry Seinfeld on "Unfrosted," the made-up origin tale of Pop-Tarts
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has stepped into the director's shoes for his new Netflix film "Unfrosted," the not-quite-true story of the creation of the Kellogg's Pop-Tart. Correspondent Mo Rocca talks with Seinfeld about working behind the camera for the first time, and calling on a bunch of his comedian friends (including "Sunday Morning" contributor Jim Gaffigan) to act in his origin tale of a breakfast staple.
FTC chair Lina Khan on playing "Anti-Monopoly"
For corporate America, Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan has emerged as a hard-charging cop on the monopoly beat. As a watchdog and warden of competition in business, the agency tries to protect consumers from the outsized power of corporations. CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa talks with Khan about going after Big Tech, Big Pharma, and the biggest online retailer of them all, Amazon.
New Balance puts its best foot forward
Though smaller than Nike and Adidas, New Balance is older than its primary competitors, and with sales of $6.5 billion in 2023 (an increase of 23% over the previous year), the Massachusetts-based company best known for running shoes is growing fast. "Sunday Morning" contributor Kelefa Sanneh checks out how New Balance is finding a balance between both fashion and performance.
Psychic Tyler Henry, Hollywood's biggest medium
At the age of 28, Tyler Henry has become one of the best-known psychics anywhere, with a TV show, a road show and, he says, a 600,000-plus waiting list of people who want him to help them connect with their departed loved ones. Correspondent Tracy Smith sits down with Henry to discuss how he first recognized his ability at the age of 10; why he welcomes skepticism; and how he believes his talent helps people deal with grief.
The fallout from Arkansas' "right to mine" bitcoin law
The peace and quiet of rural Bono, Arkansas, has been shattered by a loud and incessant mechanical buzzing sound created by a bitcoin mine. What exactly is a "bitcoin mine," and how does it work? Who owns them? And what can the residents of Bono do about them? Correspondent David Pogue investigates this very loud problem. [A previous version of this report incorrectly stated that “at least 50 bitcoin mining plants are planned” in Arkansas. In fact, as of April 14, 2024, when this story originally aired, at least 50 counties in Arkansas had passed ordinances to restrict the sound level emitted by bitcoin mines.]
