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.

In his suit, the young Muslim demands financial and moral compensation for an unfriendly work atmosphere his colleagues and supervisors imposed on him during his time at the company. The Muslim employee started as a cook at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel (which is owned by Marriott International) in Washington, D.C., in March 2002. His colleagues soon began to insult him in front of the managers, calling him a suicide terrorist and constantly asking him whether he had attended classes at some flight school like the other terrorists. The employee brought the claim to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a government committee in charge of monitoring acts of racial or religious discrimination at the workplace. The committee approved the claim, as did the Council of American-Islamic Relations, declaring that the Ritz-Carlton Hotel failed to set the suitable work atmosphere required by the law. The employee is asking for $700,000 for compensation. It is relevant to mention that Marriott International Inc., is one of the biggest international hotel companies, active in more than 60 countries around the world.
