Conservative activist sues law firms over diversity fellowships after winning affirmative action case

Conservative activist Edward Blum sued Perkins Coie and Morrison & Foerster for their diversity fellowship programs.
Lawsuits claim the fellowships violate civil rights laws by excluding white applicants based on race.
The lawsuits seek to end the diversity programs and redo the selection process.
Blum previously got the Supreme Court to ban affirmative action in college admissions.
Blum and others hope to leverage the affirmative action ruling to challenge corporate diversity initiatives.
