It’s CBS News Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley time — and this round of INYIM picks is exactly why the show remains one of television’s great little escape hatches. We pulled six stories built to fuel the brain, the imagination and a little casual-whimsy Sunday wandering.
This week’s INYIM six are Patti Labelle to Coyotes, then move through Lincoln Memorial, the upside down and unreasonable existence of ICE detention center. Re-shaping Diamonds, and finally, the honey sommelier!
The legendary Patti LaBelle.
Legendary singer Patti LaBelle has been performing for six decades. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with LaBelle at her hometown of Philadelphia as she marks her 82nd birthday.
Living with coyotes.
Once found only in parts of the West and Southwest, coyotes have dramatically expanded their range, and are now found in every state except Hawaii. Conor Knighton looks at how these animals have become part of the urban landscape in places like Chicago, and what roles they play — in history, in Native American stories, in art and in today’s urban and suburban ecosystems.
Unveiling the history beneath the Lincoln Memorial.
For more than a century, one of Washington’s best-kept secrets lay beneath the Lincoln Memorial: the Undercroft, a soaring 50,000-square-foot foundation built to keep the landmark from sinking into D.C.’s swampy ground. Beginning in June, the public will be able to visit the space, now with a museum tracing the memorial’s history, from its construction to its role as a powerful stage for the civil rights movement. Correspondent Faith Salie goes underground.
Children “held like criminals” inside ICE detention center.
More than 6,300 children under 18 – some as young as two months old, and almost all with no criminal record – have been arrested by federal immigration authorities during President Trump’s second term. Nearly half have been detained by ICE at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center outside San Antonio. “Sunday Morning” correspondent Jim Axelrod talks with a family that was held at Dilley for almost four months; and with Rep. Joaquin Castro, who is calling for Dilley to be shut down due to inhumane conditions, charges the Trump administration denies.
Quiet pressures reshaping the world of diamonds.
Are diamonds really forever? For over five centuries, Antwerp’s diamond district has been the cornerstone of the global diamond trade, through which 80% of the world’s rough diamonds have passed. Now, that legacy is under strain in ways the city — and the industry itself — has never seen. Chris Livesay reports.
Meet Marina Marchese, the honey sommelier.
Marina Marchese is America’s first honey sommelier – an expert trained in identifying countless yet subtle differences in honey. She talks with correspondent Serena Altschul about the buzz surrounding her specialized knowledge of all things honey, and what consumers should beware when seeking unadulterated honey.
