Race Unity in America
Responding to the trauma caused by racism in our society, the Baha'is of Fairfax County held a "round table" discussion about how we can create race unity in America at Fairfax County's George Mason Regional Public Library on Little River Turnpike on July 23, 2016. In our consultation we considered the ways that racism impacts our society as well as steps that we can take to create unity and justice for all humanity. Baha'u'llah says:
"The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct."
