Hey, it's NPR's Book of the Day. I'm Andrew Limbaugh. Eric Holder, former U.S. Attorney General under the Obama administration, has this new book out. It's called Our Unfinished March, and in it, he goes through the major issues minorities face when it comes to voting and offers some ideas on how to fix them. One of those solutions,

reform. But it's not the first action by the court to provoke that debate. It's just the latest.

And one person who's thought a lot about this is former Attorney General Eric Holder. Holder,

who served in the Obama administration and was the first African American to serve in that position,

is just out with a new book.

It's called Our Unfinished March.

And in it, he argues in favor of changes, including significant change to the process for appointing justices.
