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.

Daniel Simidor, a producer of the program Haiti: The Struggle Goes On on WBAI 99.5 FM in New York, made a presentation on the importance of the battle of Vertières on Nov. 18, 1805, and more generally of the Haitian Revolution. Describing the conspiracy of Europe and the United States against the new republic born in 1804, and by assessing as well the mistakes and weaknesses of the new Haitian leaders, Simidor showed how with such a glorious onset, we confine ourselves today to such poverty and such despair. But he concluded, 2004 is an historical opportunity for all of us, Haitians and friends of Haiti, to examine our history and to put it in its perspective through the acknowledgment of our ancestors incredible accomplishments and also their failures, and mistakes, in order for us to begin to correct the course of history. Paulette St. Lo and the dance company Ibo Dancers gave us a wonderful performance which was enjoyed by an audience consisting mainly of Haitian students. The event, which was in large part organized by the activist Nicole Falade, was sponsored by the program for the study of Latin America and the Caribbean of LIU, the Haitian Information Center and Initiative Haiti 2004.
