Biographical History
Joe Martin grew up in McComb, Mississippi. He was inspired at a young age to become involved in civil rights activities when he heard Medgar Evers speak. In high school, he helped to form a NAACP youth group. He participated in the Burgland High School student walk-out, and in 1965, he collaborated in the writing of an essay attacking the injustice of drafting minorities to fight in Vietnam while they were denied the right to vote. He worked for the Mississippi Institution for the Technical and Economic Resources and as a bail bondsman.
