Ward Connerly Defeated!
Affirmative Action is Preserved in Missouri!

For months, right-wing racist forces, such as the anti-immigrant Minute Men, the Klan and others, aligned with Ward Connerly gathered petition signatures to try to qualify their anti-affirmative action measure for the Missouri ballot this November. Today they failed to turn in their petitions to the Secretary of State by the deadline.
