The Scramble: Reopening "The Jinx"; Women on $20 Bills; Reaction From Selma

White House
President Barack Obama commemorated the 50th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, AL.

A new HBO series raises new questions about murder suspect Robert Durst. He was found not guilty of one murder but remains on law enforcement's radar for others. The HBO series "The Jinx" is not helping his case. We speak with a New York Times reporter about the latest on evidence presented against Durst on the show.

Also, there is a new push to replace Andrew Jackson with a woman on the face of the $20 bill. The executive director of "Women on 20s" joins us to discuss the process and some of the candidates to replace Jackson.
