Daniel Pearl Foundation - the mission to promote cross-cultural understanding through journalism, music, and dialogue. In joining the foundation as the new Daniel Pearl World Music Days coordinator, I will share their story. Do you remember Daniel Pearl? On January 23, 2002 Jewish Journalist for The Wall Street Journal Daniel Pearl was kidnapped while working in Pakistan on his way to what he thought was an interview investigating the alleged links between the shoe bomber and Al-Qauda. 9 days later he was brutally beheaded by his captors on film which was released as a world message because they believed him to be a Jewish spy. Someone must know where every journalist is at any given moment….” Daniel Pearl Daniel Pearl World Music Days - created in Daniels musical honor; a network of global concerts (held worldwide since 2002, it has promoted 1,500 concerts in over 60 countries) using the power of music to promote tolerance and inspire respect for differences.
