In 2006, Michigan voters banned affirmative action preferences in
public contracting, education, and employment. The Michigan Civil
Rights Initiative (MCRI) vote was preceded by years of campaigning,
legal maneuvers, media coverage, and public debate. Ending Racial
Preferences: The Michigan Story relates what happened from the
vantage point of Toward A Fair Michigan (TAFM), a nonprofit
organization that provided a civic forum for the discussion of
preferences. The book offers a timely 'inside look' into how TAFM
fostered dialogue by emphasizing education over indoctrination,
reason over rhetoric, and civil debate over protest. Ending Racial
Preferences opens with a review of the campaigns for and against
similar initiatives in California, Florida, Washington, and the
city of Houston. The book then delivers an in-depth historical
account of the MCRIDfrom its inception in 2003 through the first
year following its passage in 2006. Readers are invited to decide
for themselves whether affirmative action preferences are good for
America. Carol M. Allen reproduces the remarks delivered at a TAFM
debate, along with a compilation of pro and con responses by 14
experts to 50 questions about preferences. This book will be of
interest to those working in the fields of public policy and state
politics.
