A forum on race, reconciliation and truth-telling will be held at 6 p.m today in the Bethlehem Center gym in Alton Park, hosted by the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

The meeting is open to the public and will include frank discussion about the high number of unsolved murders in Chattanooga, the code of silence in the community and the divide between police and residents.

A Chattanooga Times Free Press investigation published Sunday, “Speak No Evil,” showed many black city residents don’t trust police and many cases go unsolved because of this dynamic.

“This could be the beginning of something huge,” said Skip Eberhardt, a former drug dealer who now works with gang members trying to get their GED. He will take part in the forum.
