195-		 The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States designated the second Sunday in June as Race Amity Day. (In 1965 it was renamed "Race Unity Day") The purpose of Race Unity Day is to promote racial harmony and understanding and to focus attention on racial prejudice, which Bahá'ís believe is the most challenging moral issue facing our nation. Since then, communities throughout the country have held celebrations, open to the public, every year on the second Sunday in June.
