Michigan Students: `Defend Affirmative Action'  
Chanting "Back to segregation we won't go!" and "Ward Connerly's plans: Hell no!" nearly 100 people rallied to defend affirmative action at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, March 18, and to protest a visit from Connerly. One of the main proponents of California's anti-affirmative action measure Proposition 209, Connerly is now touring the country to garner support for groups that oppose affirmative action in more than 20 states. Michigan state representative Deborah Whyman announced a state-wide petitioning drive to put an anti-affirmative action proposal on the November ballot.
