Race Amity Day Set For June 9 WILMETTE, HI. — Race Amity Day as an annual national obr-erv- vance has been inaugurated by tire National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States for the promotion of higher standards of inter-racial relationship and of true understanding of the oneness of all mankind. To be observed each year on the second Sunday in June, Race Amity Day will this year, on June 9, call for special activity in all 1500 localities in the nation where Baha’is now reside. Men of good will everywhere are not only in¬ vited but urged to participate. Although problems of race have long been with America, they have now become dangerously acute and complex, the assembly asserted in is initiatory statement. “What is of vital concern for the well-being of one segment of the human race is now of vital concern for all. Inter-racial relationships today are no longer "h matter of domestic concern, but have become of much consequence in distant lands.” “We see no way for the solu¬ tion of our own nation’s problem, or even for the establishment of abiding world peace until there is recognition of the unity of the hu¬ man race, and spiritually moti¬ vated actions growing out of this recognition,” the assembly con¬ tinued. "If we are to follow a bold, decisive, sincere and wise course, we must first cleanse hearts, out own included, of prejudice and racial animosity which are so con¬ trary to the will of God.” The first race amity convention between the colored and white races held in this country and probably in the world was spon- by Baha’is in Washington, m. || n .1 n.i hi uiiiK'ii LOU LATOVR PREPARES FOR TOWS HALL RECITAL Lou LaTour, famous dramatist-lectur¬ seen here as Queen Esther, one the 15 characterizations she portray in her forth-coming Hall Recital, seems to ‘‘mel¬ with the years,” as the great Nora Holt said when she her recently.

There has been a evolution of inter-racial activity throughout Baha’is communities since that time and adherence to a policy of no racial separation within all Baha’i groups. One of the purposes of the present Ten- Year, world-wide Spiritual Cru- 1 is the promotion of inter-racial amity. “The oneness of mankind in all its implications of religious and racial unity is the pivot around which the teachings of th« Baha’i World Faith revolve,” the assembly explained.
