American Civil Rights Institute

Sacramento, CA 95816-5755

Ward Connerly is one of the country's leading opponents of affirmative action. In 1995, as a member of the University of California Board of Regents, he introduced the resolution that overturned affirmative action in that state's university system, the largest in the country.

Two years later he founded an organization called the American Civil Rights Institute, funded in large part by the ultra-conservative Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation of Milwaukee. The ACRI led the California Civil Rights Initiative, a successful campaign for a ballot referendum (Proposition 209) to end all affirmative action programs in California state government.
