PRIME MINISTER MARIN – Following the invasion of Ukraine, Finland, which shares a border with Russia, announced it would apply for NATO membership - ending seven decades of Finnish military neutrality. 60 MINUTES’ Sharyn Alfonsi profiles the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, who called for her country to join the alliance, at the prime minister’s official residence in Helsinki.

THE HISTORYMAKERS – The achievements of historically significant Black Americans are at risk of going unpreserved, as important figures die without documenting their stories for future generations. 60 MINUTES’ Bill Whitaker explores how one organization is trying to prevent that by creating an expansive digital archive of first-person accounts of the Black experience. Marc Lieberman is the producer.
America now sits at a critically important crossroads. The attacks on the teaching of African American history in K-12 schools makes our work now more important than ever before. Working together, we can continue to RESCUE. PRESERVE. EDUCATE.
Please tune in and encourage others to do so and to support our efforts.
