Ballet Icon Misty Copeland | 60 Minutes Archive

Ballet lifted Misty Copeland from poverty, over assumptions about race and through injury. In 2015, Bill Whitaker profiled Copeland, just weeks before she made history, becoming the first female Black ballerina to be named principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre. Today is her final performance with ABT, after 25 years with the company.

“60 Minutes” is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen’s Top 10.
