Judge Gordon A. Martin discusses his new book "Count Them One by One: Black Mississippians Fighting for the Right to Vote," about the 1962 court case that resulted in one of the first victories for voting rights in the South.

Judge Martin will be joined by Minneapolis-born John Doar, who worked for the Justice Department under Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and successfully tried the case.
