…if His [Baha’u’llah’s] teachings be not enforced, the
antagonism between the Black and the White in America will give rise to great
calamities. The salve for this wound and the remedy for this disease are none
other than the breaths of holiness. If the hearts be attracted to the heavenly
bounties, surely the White and Black will, in a short time, according to the
teachings of Baha’u’llah, put away hatred and animosity and establish love and
fellowship.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (From a newly translated Tablet; compilation: ‘The
Pupil of the Eye, African Americans in the World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
