Ward Connerly Explains Creating Equal

Ward Connerly has an enlightened discussion with Dr. Chaps via Skype. What is equality, and can it be achieved for all Americans?

Ward Connerly is the founder and President of the American Civil Rights Institute, a national, not-for-profit organization aimed at educating the public about the need to move beyond race and, specifically, racial and gender preferences. Mr. Connerly has gained national attention as an outspoken advocate of equal opportunity for all Americans, regardless of race, sex, or ethnic background.

Mr. Connerly is the author of Creating Equal: My Fight Against Race Preferences and his new release, Lessons from My Uncle James: Beyond Skin Color to the Content of Our Character. One part memoir, one part moral guide, Lessons from My Uncle James is a touching, funny, and ultimately philosophical book about living a principled and productive life regardless of skin color. Lessons illustrate how Mr. Connerly arrived at the ethics that have guided his life and are a new starting point for the discussion about character that America must have in order to move beyond race for good.
