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.

A lot, as the City Council meeting on July 10 showed. Several bills related to the renaming of departments and 13 different public places. One bill called for the changing of the name of the Organized Crime Control Commission to the Business Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission. Another asked that the Department of Public Health become the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. One of the renamed streets is Wheeler Avenue, between Westchester and Watson Avenues in the Bronx. It is now officially Amadou Diallo Place, named for the unarmed African immigrant who was cut down in a barrage of 41 police bullets in February of 1999. Another newly named thoroughfare is Harriet Tubman Avenue in Harlem, which runs from West 111th Street to West 141st Street on what was formerly St. Nicholas Avenue. Speaking in favor of this change was Harlem Councilman Bill Perkins, who said, This is the first and only major thoroughfare anywhere in the City of New York to be renamed for a womanespecially for a woman of African descent who is being acknowledged for having taken part in freeing enslaved Africans. <i>Editors note: Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed this City Council directional, 22A, into law on July 29, 2002.</i> VTMBH Article: Line Breaks 1 VTMBH Article: Date 2002-07-18 VTMBH Article: Thumb VTMBH Article: Article File VTMBH Article: Hit Count 50 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
