Dear friends,
Featured Presentation: A Journey of Race Amity and Oneness
Join us for an inspiring presentation detailing the extraordinary life and spiritual station of Louis G. Gregory. Described by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá as being "like pure gold," Louis Gregory rose above profound personal adversity and the rigid barriers of racial prejudice in America to become a heroic herald of the oneness of mankind and a Hand of the Cause of God.
This session will trace his historic path—from his early childhood in South Carolina through his legal training at Howard University, his life-altering pilgrimage to Egypt and Palestine in 1911, and his decades of untiring service across the globe. His legacy continues to serve as a luminous blueprint for race amity, cross-cultural understanding, and universal harmony.
