1Opinion of the Court
SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.
Harold Peterson brought this action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e et seq. (1982) (Title VII), alleging that the City of Wichita, Kansas, had illegally discharged him on the basis of race. The district court dismissed the suit, concluding that Peterson had failed to file a timely charge with the EEOC as required by section 2000e-5 because the only filing within the applicable time period was unverified. See Peterson v. City of Wichita, 706 F.Supp. 766 (D.Kan.1989). Peterson appeals and we reverse.
