The College Test, Exhume the Truth, Three Empty Chairs

John Dickerson reports on the challenge to colleges and students as the institutions prepare to reopen in the fall amid the still-present pandemic; produced by Draggan Mihailovich. History has largely ignored the Greenwood Massacre, a two-day assault in 1921 on a thriving black community in Tulsa, Okla., in which an estimated 300 people – mostly African American men, women and children – were killed. Scott Pelley reports on a community trying to uncover the facts and the bodies in what’s been called the worst race riot in American history; produced by Nicole Young. The Merit Systems Protection Board gives two million federal civil service workers – including whistleblowers – a place to appeal should they be disciplined, demoted or fired. As Norah O’Donnell reports, the board now has a backlog of nearly 2,900 cases, because of the failure of the Senate to confirm any new members to the board in over eight years; produced by Keith Sharman and Alex J. Diamond.
