Each chapter of this book presents an aspect of Baha'i history that intersects with African American history in novel and socially significant ways.

The amazing account of the journey of Abdul-Baha, head of the Bahai Faith after his fathers passing, across much of the United States in 1912. His exhausting yet exhilarating 239-day trek from coast to coast took him to fifty cities and towns, where he delivered up to four talks a dayabout oneness of humanity and the principles of universal peace to approximately ninety-three thousand people. This historic visit to the United States planted the seeds that would take root and germinate into the present-day American Bah community.

The Bah' House of Worship sits on the shores of Lake Michigan, just 5 miles north of Chicago. How it came to be built in the heart of the United States is a story that begins with the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. Inspired by news of the first Bah' Temple in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, members of the Chicago Bah' House of Spirituality drafted a petition in 1903 asking for permission to begin their own. Fifty years later, in 1953, a completed Bah' House of Worship was dedicated in Wilmette. The story of how very few believers in a new faith built the "Great Bell" of the North Shore--during the Great Depression and World War II years--is shown with archival photographs from every stage of construction up to the present. This includes ongoing restoration projects preserving the beauty of the "Temple of Light."
