Detroit group asks Supreme Court to strike down affirmative action bans across nation

"“Proposal 2 and Proposition 209 have turned black, Latina/o and Native American residents into second-class citizens," said George B. Washington, a second attorney for BAMN. 
"Racial minorities are now the only groups who cannot ask the universities to adopt admissions programs that will make it possible for their children to attend their state universities.
"These laws have driven down minority admissions by one third or more at the University of Michigan and at the University of California at the very moment the country is becoming majority minority.”
