Joseph, India Abroad, 6 December 2002. English language.

 <http://www.indypressny.org/index.php3#Article489> Garifunas: One of
ours by Manuel Jaime, Hoy, 15 November 2002. Translated from Spanish by
Hannah Emmerich. 
If you pay close attention while walking down the streets of the South
Bronx, you may notice a different type of Central American immigrant-the
Garifuna. Though the Garifuna are a people of African descent, they are
considered Latinos because they take the nationality of their country of

For over roughly half a century, Haitians have fled to America to escape

 <http://www.indypressny.org/index.php3#Article495> The protests that
fizzled, Haitian Times, 3 December 2002. English language. 
While we support the claim that Haitians are treated unfairly, we

White House-places where they can bring about some real changes. MORE.

The death of Aimal Kansi marks the first execution of a Pakistani on
American soil. Many Pakistanis, though horrified by Kansi's crime, are
uncomfortable with the aftermath--yet the Pakistani community has
remained silent on the issue. We as a community must give up our silent
fears and our disconnectedness. MORE.

York Carib News, 3 December 2002. English language. 
Some influential people in New York City see the dollar vans, a
predominately West Indian-owned business, as a threat to regular bus
service. As a result, dollar van operators have been heavily ticketed by
police in an effort to force them out of business. It's time that
unions, and their supporters on city council, face the reality of the
legitimate need for this service. MORE.

 <http://www.indypressny.org/index.php3#Article498> Our sorrow, Russian
Forward, 28 November 2002. Translated from Russian by Liz Vladeck. 
Among family and friends Lyudochka was always the leader. Wherever we
were, whatever we were doing, if Lyudochka arrived, everything became
warmer and happier, and any sorrows or bad moods disappeared. Our hearts
ache unbearably to think that this will never be the case again. MORE.
