What we're watching: Norm Lewis Gives a Special Performance of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' at Lincoln Center

CBS This Morning's Anthony Mason heads to Lincoln Center to see how the famed venue is handling their first closure in 61 years and how they're finding healing through the arts.

He asked Tony-nominated actor and singer Norm Lewis to bring music back to Lincoln Center with a special performance. Lewis took to the Lincoln Center plaza to perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing," the song that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) adopted as its official song.

See you bright and early tomorrow, BroadwayWorld!
