New York Times reporters to discuss race relations

Three New York Times reporters will discuss “How Race is Lived in America,” a recent Times series on race relations, Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m.

The public panel presentation will be held in the Memorial Union Theatre with free admission.

“How Race is Lived in America” was a six-week-long series that began in June, the product of a year-long examination by more than 20 Times reporters and editors. They went into the homes, churches and workplaces of ordinary people across the country to see how race relations play out today, two generations after legal discrimination ended.

This panel of Times reporters is speaking about race on four campuses: UW–Madison, University of California-Berkeley, New York University and Pennsylvania State University.

The panel includes Steven Holmes, who in the Times series explored race relations in the military; Janny Scott, who looked at race in the making of an HBO miniseries; and Michael Winerip, who revealed the complicated relationships between minority and white officers in a Harlem narcotics unit.
