The Color of Change

摘要

Affirmative action may not be the most divisive issue on the ballot, but it remains an unending source of conflict and debate—at least in Michigan, whose citizens are pondering a proposal that would ban affirmative action in the public sector. No one knows whether other states will follow Michigan's lead, but partisans on both sides see the vote as crucial—a decision that could either help or hinder a movement aimed at ending "preferential treatment" programs once and for all.
