abstract	"This book considers Louis George Gregory's unique and historic contributions toward advancing racial unity in America and beyond. These contributions were grounded in his full embrace of the teachings of the Bahá'í religion and the oneness of humanity. He manifested commitment to this new religion in every facet of his adult life, including his marriage; his law practice; his heroic services spreading teachings of the Bahá'í Faith; his election as the first Black American elected to the National Spiritual Assembly, the highest Bahá'í administrative institution in America; and his role as a key participant in Race Amity Conventions in cities throughout the country following a series of violent racial riots across the United States. The Louis G. Gregory Public Museum at Charleston, South Carolina; the Louis G. Gregory Training Institute, a national educational center in Hemmingway, South Carolina; and the Louis G. Gregory Children's School in Eliot, Maine, are inspiring and enduring testaments to Louis Gregory's lifelong belief that the transformation of society could be built on spiritual principles"--
