Creating equal

Description:

"With his campaigns against race preferences in California and Washington, Ward Connerly altered America's racial landscape. Now, in Creating Equal, he tells the human story behind this struggle - a story of a man's courage in enduring slander and even possible violence in an effort to point America toward the promised land of racial reconciliation.". "By turns amusing and sobering, and always stubbornly honest, Connerly gives us dramatic vignettes of Colin Powell and Jesse Jackson, George W. Bush and Rupert Murdoch, Al Gore and Bob Dole, and other political and cultural figures he has met during his unfinished journey. But his book is ultimately about America's racial divide and how to close it."--BOOK JACKET.
