60 Minutes Reports on “Healing Justice” & “Lowriders of New Mexico” July 13 2025

This Sunday, July 13, 2025, 60 Minutes brings a compelling postseason edition filled with powerful stories that explore both the heartbreak of past injustices and the triumph of a community redefining its image. Airing from 7:00-8:00 PM ET/PT on CBS, the updated segments offer a deeper dive into two unique stories—one focused on the emotional journey of a victim advocating for change, and the other on a community redefining its identity.

Healing Justice

In an emotional double-length segment, correspondent Lesley Stahl revisits the story of Jennifer Thompson, a woman whose life was forever altered by a traumatic event. As a rape victim, Thompson fought for justice, only to discover years later that the man who had been wrongfully convicted of the crime was innocent. This revelation led to a journey of forgiveness and healing. Thompson, whose story was first covered by 60 Minutes in 2009, has since become an advocate for victims of wrongful convictions. Through her organization, Healing Justice, she has worked to bring together both the wrongfully convicted and their victims for multi-day intensive retreats aimed at mutual healing. This segment is a reflection of 60 Minutes’ ongoing commitment to highlighting injustices and their long-lasting impact. Shari Finkelstein produces this thought-provoking report, inviting viewers to witness the transformation of pain into a powerful force for positive change.

Lowriders of New Mexico

In a lighter yet equally compelling segment, 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker takes viewers on a ride through Espanola, New Mexico, a town that serves as a mecca for lowrider culture. The segment explores the community of lowriders—people who take pride in restoring vintage American automobiles with vibrant paint jobs and custom street-scraping suspensions. However, this is no ordinary car culture. Whitaker introduces viewers to a group of “cruisers” who are using their hobby to defy the stereotype of the bad-boy car enthusiast. Instead, they are becoming activists, community leaders, and defenders of Hispanic culture. This report paints a picture of a proud group that has redefined the meaning of “cruise” by embracing their roots and proving that lowriders can be champions of fine art, community, and culture. Rome Hartman produces this vibrant segment, celebrating the intersection of tradition, innovation, and social impact.

Tune in this Sunday night for a 60 Minutes episode that promises to engage, inform, and inspire with its emotional depth and cultural exploration.
