From Missouri to Arizona: Connerly targets the ballot box in five more states.
WARD CONNERLY MAINTAINS he has simple reasons for campaigning to end affirmative action. "I'm not just fighting to end racial preferences--I'm fighting to alter the way people still see Black people as weak and lazy," says Connerly, a Black real estate consultant who founded and chairs the anti-affirmative action American Civil Rights Institute. "People are rethinking race, and as they do, they're having a hard time thinking that Black people whose ancestors overcame slavery can't make it on their own. Because, let's face it, at the end of the day, when we talk about affirmative action, we're talking about Black people."
