In 1995 Ward Connerly campaigned for Proposition 209, which would make it illegal for the state of California to discriminate on the basis of race, intending to end the state’s affirmative action programs. The proposition passed. Since then Connerly has won passage of such measures in Washington State and Michigan, and he has continued the fight. In discussing the battle to end racial preferences, Connerly notes that the establishment is always at odds with the people on issues involving race.

Ward Connerly weighs in.
