Letter from Judea and Ruth Pearl
February 16, 2004
At this time two years ago, people of all faiths were united in prayer for the safe return of our only son, Daniel Pearl. A few weeks later, on February 21st, the world learned of his murder and mourned collectively.
Daniel Pearl lived a life that knew no geographical boundaries, with a spirit that knew no prejudice. Through journalism and music, he communicated friendship, understanding and mutual respect in many parts of the world.
This year we will again observe the anniversary of his death in ways that remember and honor Daniel Pearl as a journalist, a Jew, a citizen of the world and a dialogue-maker.
We thank the journalism schools that are honoring our son and fellow journalists who have died while pursuing the truth by holding discussions about the Press Under Fire.
We invite you, our larger family of friends and people of goodwill the world over, to engage your own local communities by inviting people of all faiths, including members of neighborhood churches, mosques, synagogues and temples to participate in a united prayer for a sane and humane world.
We are convinced that we will all be strengthened when people of courage stand together in solidarity against terrorism, racism, and the anti-Semitism that took our son's life. We hope that by bringing together people of different beliefs, building trust, and uniting them in a common stand for sanity and humanity, our son's life -- and his untimely death -- will make a difference.
