Fiercely committed to the ideal of a color-blind America, Ward Connerly has successfully campaigned to ban racial preferences in state institutions in California, Washington and Michigan. Yet, in Lessons from Uncle James, Connerly argues that even after we move beyond the color of our skin, we must still address the content of our character. With this Connerly extols the traditional virtues of personal accountability as a ballast to race industry's culture of victimhood.

A Brave Guy Who Gets It,
By Martin (Los Gatos, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lessons from My Uncle James: Beyond Skin Color to the Content of Our Character (Hardcover)
Ward Connerly is an amazing guy who totally "gets it." His critical thinking, demonstrated time and time again in this book, places him on absolute par with Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams, two of the countries other amazing African American thinkers, authors and professors of fair play for all! Connerly's book should be required reading in all California schools just to counter the slanted view of "quotas by race, gender and ethnicity" foisted on the public for decades, quotas which have almost destroyed the fabric of my state! Hear, Hear, for Ward Connerly, a guy who not only gets it, but a guy who has and is doing something about it! His book speaks volumes regarding honesty, fairness and a way out of the incredible mess that political correctness has created!

Ward Connerly is a great American whose leadership in ensuring equal opportunity for all is well known. The book provides insight on Connerly's formative years and the critical moral and practical lessons he learned from his Uncle James. Concise, touching, and elevating, this volume is very strongly recommended.
