The Power of Unity Overcoming Racial Divisions, Rebuilding America

This is a book about unity and the equality of all people. Its contents are drawn from the writings of the Bahá’í Faith, a religion founded on the belief that humankind is one family—a family that should be celebrated and honored for its diversity and not defined by difference and division. The vision offered by the Bahá’í Faith is not merely one of spiritual principles and high ideals but one that provides a practical roadmap for community building and the elimination of prejudice of all kinds. While global and universal in scope, the Faith’s writings place a spotlight on the United States in particular. With texts stretching from the latter half of the nineteenth century right up to the present day, The Power of Unity contains timeless spiritual wisdom accompanied by insight designed to put that wisdom into practice in the modern age.
