Location
The Baha`is of Naperville sponsored a Race Amity gathering at the Nichols Library on the afternoon of Saturday, January 27th. Friends of the faith as well as Baha`is from Naperville and surrounding communities joined this event for discussion, fellowship and refreshments, and to learn about the origins of Race Amity Day. Race Amity Day is an annual celebration of the interracial partnerships that have been battling for racial justice and equity for generations.
Racial prejudice is the most challenging moral issue facing our nation and is one of the greatest barriers to peace in our nation and the world.
Baha`i prayers and quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela were read by volunteers and a video of "Roots of the Race Amity Movement" was shown to introduce this movement to all participants.
