Enterprise, Alabama is a town that honors an agricultural pest, the boll weevil, on a magnificent monument in the center of town, is the feature of a CBS Sunday Morning feature (5m 17s) by correspondent Conor Knighton. 

It is an amazing story about a pest that failed to destroy a town and its economy, a profound behavior change that led to a stronger economy and also how that statue has proliferated throughout the town.
