University of California Regent who had forced the largest public
university in the country to become color-blind in its admissions
policies. Connerly led the 1996 campaign to pass California's
Proposition 209. In 1998, he spearheaded a similar successful
anti-discrimination measure in Washington. Creating Equal chronicles
