Post 57a: C-Span Discussion re Affirmative Action Initiatives on State Ballots

At the time of this post, Shanta Driver (http://iis.stat.wright.edu/sos/bio_Presenters/shanta_driver.htm), Director of By Any Means Necessary, and Ward Connerly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Connerly), President of the American Civil Rights Institute, are discussing affirmative action ballot initiatives in two states.

Connerly, an African-American and a former Regent with the University of California system, was responsible for the elimination of affirmative action in governmental entities in California (through Proposition 209) twelve years ago. His organization has led the charge to eliminate affirmative action, through the initiative process, in other states.

This is interesting fare.
