 year fifty-seven percent of voters rejected California’s Prop 16, 
 reaffirming \na 1996 constitutional ban on affirmative action. 
 \n\nSupporters of affirmative action such as California’s first Black 
 Secretary of State, \nShirley Weber, who introduced Prop 16 as an 
 Assemblymember, say that the ban, \n“...denies women and people of color 
 a level playing field in the workplace and in education." \n\nHowever, 
 supporters of the ban such as "No on 16" co-chair, Betty Chu invoke civil 
 rights era language calling affirmative action, “systemic racism in the 
 most direct sense,” contending that in it would create a disadvantage to 
 Asian-Americans.\n\nSo where do we go from here? Will affirmative action 
 ever prevail in California? If not, how else can we address the inequities 
 that plague our state? And how do we build a coalition that truly supports 
 equal opportunity for all?\n\nHosted by KQED race and equity reporter 
 Sandhya Dirks with student guest reporter \nJanelle Marie 
 Salanga.\n\nFeaturing a conversation with:\n\n--Lisa Garcia Bedolla - Vice 
 Provost for Graduate Studies and Dean of the Graduate Division, UC 
 Berkeley\n\n--Eva Paterson - President and Co-Founder, Equal Justice 
 Society \n_____________________________________________________________\n
