Count them One by One
Black
Mississippians
Fighting for the Right to Vote
In
1961,
Forrest County, Mississippi, became a
focal point of the civil rights movement when
the United States Justice Department filed a
lawsuit against voting registrar Theron Lynd.
While
30
percent of the county s residents were
black, only twelve African Americans were on
its voting rolls. United States v. Lynd was the first
trial that resulted in the conviction of a south¬
ern registrar for contempt of court. The case
served as a model for other challenges to voter
discrimination in the South and was an impor¬
tant influence in shaping the Voting Rights Act
of
1965.
Count Them One by One is a comprehensive
account of the groundbreaking case written by
one of the Justice Department
s
trial attorneys.
Gordon A. Martin, Jr., then a newly minted law¬
yer, traveled to Hattiesburg from Washington
to help shape the federal case against Lynd. He
met with and prepared the governments six¬
teen courageous black witnesses who had been
refused registration, found white witnesses, and
was one of the lawyers during the trial.
Decades later, Martin returned to Mississippi
to find these men and women whom he had
never forgotten. He interviewed the still-living
witnesses, their children, and friends. Martin
intertwines these current reflections with vivid
commentary about the case itself. The result
is an impassioned, cogent fusion of reportage,
oral history, and memoir about a trial that fun¬
damentally reshaped the South.
