"In 1987, a group of Black men in the Baha'i Faith community got together to see how they could improve the plight of Black males in the United States. What resulted from this 12-person meeting was an atmosphere of prayer, love, and spirituality that became known as the Black Men's Gathering. What started with twelve participants soon grew in size to hundreds of Black men--both Baha'i and non-Baha'i--who were eager to participate in this spiritual awakening and to serve the Black community here in the United States and abroad. This book charts the progress of the Black Men's Gathering, from its humble beginnings in a hotel room in Greensboro, North Carolina; to larger meetings at the Louis Gregory Baha'i Institute in Hemingway, SC; to even larger gatherings at Green Acre Baha'i Center in Maine; to regional and local Gatherings across the nation. The final national Black Men's Gathering occurred in 2012, but its enduring spirit is felt today in the impact it made on devotional gatherings in the Baha'i community across the country and in the way it touched and forever transformed the lives of its participants"--mehr
