Affirmative Action

Daniel talks with Lawrence Fuchs, professor of American studies at Brandeis University, about his proposals to help resolve the current debate over affirmative action programs. Fuchs proposes limiting affirmative action programs to native-born American blacks because of the country's historical debt to this minority. He also proposes phasing out affirmative action programs for other minorities over the next five to ten years and strengthening anti-discrimination laws to protect their gains.
