About: Chapter 1 explores the socio-political and economic state of post-Civil War America. The purpose is to identify some of the advancements and successive disappointments which affected Black America prior to its first encounter with the Bahá’í Faith. The series of upsets and breakdowns which African Americans faced during this time aroused in them a receptivity to the positive change the Bahá’í community would begin to institute in subsequent years. The circumstances of pre-Bahá’í America created a climate favorable to the activities the American Bahá’í community would later undertake. Download: green_bahai_black_america.pdf.
