James Martin, Jesuit priest and LGBTQ advocate, joins Christiane Amanpour to discuss the implications of this development. Then, author of "Vanguard" Martha S. Jones and trailblazing civil rights activist Xernona Clayton talk about Black women's historic fight to be heard and counted. Paola Ramos, author of "Finding Latinx", speaks to Amanpour about the diverse Latinx community and the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
