"60 Minutes" highlights diversity impacts on young musicians

deadline.com

"60 Minutes" highlighted the impact of former President Trump's executive order on diversity programs, focusing on young musicians of color who were denied the chance to perform with the U.S. Marine Band this year. Last year, these students had the opportunity to audition through a nonprofit aimed at increasing diversity in orchestras. However, the Marine Band's commanding officer stated that the performance could not be rescheduled due to the executive order. In response, "60 Minutes" organized its own concert featuring the students and retired military musicians. The event aimed to showcase the talents of these young musicians despite the restrictions imposed by the executive order.
