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.

VTMBH Article: Keywords VTMBH Article: Body Harlems black Republicans got a big snub recently from Governor George Pataki as they re-launched their organization in the community. Pataki failed to honor an invitation to the occasion, even though he assured the group that he would. Instead, the governor designated his daughter, Emily Pataki, chair of People for Pataki, to represent him at the celebration held at the Studio Museum of Harlem on West 125th Street. In a letter from the governor, read by his daughter, he praised the work of those members who made the clubs revival possible. He said its presence is not only a symbol of our deep commitment to the people of this community, but it also demonstrates our commitment to fight for a brighter future for every New Yorker in every part of the state. Mayor Michael Bloomberg breezed through the event and said he had to leave in a hurry to catch the Liberty basketball game at Madison Square Garden. About 100 guests attended the affair. Assemblyman John Ravitz, chair of the New York County Republican Committee, said the revival of the Harlem Republican Club is a major focus of the Manhattan branch of the party, and something Pataki and Bloomberg have requested of him. The Harlem Republican Club was established in 1886 and served as a year-round, grassroots political headquarters until the late 1930s. The new club will serve as the central gathering place for several uptown Republican clubs, which have worked independently of one another for several years. For too long, Harlem voters have been taken for granted by the Democratic Party, in part because we Republicans failed to properly communicate on a grassroots level our message and our record of accomplishments uptown, Ravitz continued. He added that the Harlem Republican Club would consolidate the partys existing operations in the community, as well as enable party officials to talk about the extraordinary renaissance that has occurred in Harlem under GOP leadership in Albany and at City Hall. The Harlem Republican Club is expected to open shop this month at the Theresa Hotel, 2090 Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard at 125th Street. In addition to campaign activities, the club will hold community workshops and sponsor town hall meetings and local outreach programs so that it is a constant presence in the community and a helpful neighbor, Ravitz said.
