Title A name given to the resource "Voices That Must Be Heard" Articles Description An account of the resource The Independent Press Association (IPA) translates articles from the ethnic press (when necessary) and distributes them via web and fax newsletter to mainstream and ethnic press, government offices, nonprofits, and interested individuals. Voices That Must be Heard was designed by the Independent Press Association staff in New York City in response to the horrifying events of September 11. After Sept. 11th, Voices focused on the South Asian, Arab and Middle Eastern communities in New York. Since February 2002, the project has expanded, selecting articles from the broad range of ethnic and community newspapers throughout the city. Here, the Archive has preserved the Voices collection from its inception until November 2002.

Al Sharpton. The minister pushed his stance against that potential conflict up another notch on Monday, when he met with Iraqi UN Ambassador Mohammad Aldouri. Prompted by the approaching holidays, particularly the beginning of the Muslim observation of Ramadan, Sharpton issued another call for peace. I just dont see how we can celebrate the holy daysRamadan and Christmasand not, in our own conscience, say we did what we could to avoid shedding blood, he said outside the Iraqi Mission on the Upper East Side after the meeting. If we could get religious leaders who could talk to all sides…then it can be productive. Sharpton expressed concern that the turmoil has been reduced to a standoff between President Bush and Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Our concern is for the innocent and the bloodshed of American troops and Iraqi children, he stressed. He offered a similar position several weeks ago during a press conference with Martin Luther King III, which was called by Ron Daniels of the Center for Constitutional Rights, at the Riverside Church. No specific solution was proposed by Sharpton or the ambassador. They were there merely to convey a message of peace, in keeping with the holiday spirit. Sharpton said we must try, even if it amounts to nothing. Ambassador Aldouri said that the people of Iraq were lovers of peace and that they would do their best to obtain that noble goal.
