Fifty years ago this weekend, on March 7, 1965, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. began the first of three marches from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., in support of equal voting rights. The march gained the nickname "Bloody Sunday" after 600 unarmed participants were attacked and beaten by state troopers and others on the Edmund Pettus Bridge outside Selma. CBS' senior White House correspondent Bill Plante was on the scene that day, even getting a chance to interview King as he marched. This week Plante returns to Selma half a century after the fact, and sits down with President Barack Obama to hear his thoughts on the legacy of Selma.
"Doppelganger" is a German word that has come to mean "someone who looks like someone else." We've all had the experience of seeing someone on the street with an uncanny resemblance to a family member or friend, or even yourself. When photographer Francois Brunelle had this experience, he decided to search for doppelgangers from around the world and photograph them together. But as he found out, taking the photos was just the beginning. Our Anthony Mason tells the story of what happens when these look-alikes come face-to-face.

For the generation who grew up during television's Golden Age, few names loom larger than Carl Reiner. From his days on "Your Show of Shows" with Sid Caesar and his partnership with Mel Brooks, to his creation of "The Dick Van Dyke Show," Reiner was a true TV comedy pioneer. He would of course go on to direct many Hollywood films, including "The Jerk" and "All of Me" with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin. Our Tracy Smith shares some laughs with the comedy legend.
Also: We'll have the latest Steve Hartman adventure from "On the Road" and a lot more this "Sunday Morning."
