On March 3rd, 2008, I had a chance to sit down and talk with Tim Asher, Executive Director of the Missouri Civil Rights Initiative (MoCRI).

Topics discussed:

• distinction between affirmative action and race preferences
• public support
• the opposition and their use of signature “blockers”
• media bias—err, sabotage…
• the government’s (detrimental) role

And, of course, a run-down of what became of the petitioning effort!
