After decades of American children routinely receiving polio vaccines, the virus that had doomed many to paralysis was nearly eliminated in the United States. But vaccine avoidance today may allow the crippling disease to return.

In 1968, a group of artists, activists, and community members founded the Studio Museum in Harlem. It was a space not just for displaying works celebrating the contributions of African-American artists, but also to foster up-and-coming artists through a residency program.

“Sunday Morning” remembers some of the notable figures who left us this week.
For six decades, Seymour Hersh’s reporting for such publications as The New York Times and The New Yorker has changed public opinion and government policy – from documenting the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War, to uncovering torture by American service members at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl talks with the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist about his career exposing corruption, and where he believes America stands now. She also talks with Laura Poitras, co-director of a new documentary on Hersh, “Cover-Up,” about putting the reporter with a reputation for crankiness on camera.
A memoir by the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist recounts a blockbuster career from the Golden Age of journalism. David Martin reports.

Luke Burbank talks to Ogata and his mother and co-owner, Sharon Hirata, about tofu as a labor of love; and with Chef Aaron Adams, whose dishes bring out tofu’s versatility.
Australian-born actress Rose Byrne earned an Academy Award nomination for her powerful performance in the drama “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” playing a mother stretched to the limits.

Byrne also discusses her early years in Hollywood and the help she received from fellow Aussie Heath Ledger; and how she branched off from working in dramas like the TV series “Damages,” to comedies like “Bridesmaids.”
In her new book, “We the Women,” CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell tells the overlooked stories of women who have helped shape our nation, from the single female whose name appears on the Declaration of Independence, to the first Black woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court. O’Donnell talks with correspondent Mo Rocca about being shocked by how much she didn’t know of these women’s contributions; the role of women in journalism today; and why she is optimistic about the future.
