Bahá’u’lláh once compared the colored people to the black pupil of the eye surrounded by the white. In this black pupil is seen the reflection of that which is before it, and through it the light of the spirit shineth forth. 
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated December 25, 1938; ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
