Author Jamie Kalven Explores Race, Class and Sexual Violence for Chicago Tribune
Dear Voices and Faces Project supporter,
At the invitation of Chicago Tribune columnist Dawn Trice, Jamie Kalven -- an author, activist and Voices and Faces Project adviser -- has contributed an essay to "Exploring Race," a new section on the Tribune's website. In his recently-published Chicago Tribune piece, Jamie addresses issues of race, class and sexual violence, writing thoughtfully about the rape of his partner, Patricia Evans, and challenging us to re-think accepted male responses to sexual violence.

We urge you to visit the site and to engage with it by commenting on Jamie's piece. And we commend Dawn Trice, the creator of the "Exploring Race" series. As Jamie has stated, "Dawn and her colleagues at the Tribune are working to create the conditions for a robust conversation (on race). The vitality of that conversation will depend on the quality of our participation." With that, please log on and weigh in. Your thoughts and responses matter, and serve as an important reminder to the Tribune that initiatives like "Exploring Race" have the support of our community.
