"Only by encouraging diversity in the newsroom can we ensure that all American voices can be heard." Ahn has been a long-time activist for civil rights at the local and national levels.

The Wards Cove workers are part of an unresolved 1974 class-action discrimination suit. The last-minute amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1991 singled out the Wards Cove workers for exclusion, but made no mention of more than 200 similar discriminations suits that were also pending at the time.
