The Bahá’í Faith in South Carolina - Part II: the Post Civil Rights Era Years (1/2)

On January 9th, 2021, Layli Maparyan and Louis Venters joined us for part two of a series of conversations on The Bahá’í Faith in South Carolina and America’s Unfinished Business of Reconstruction. Based on Venters' book, ‘A History of the Baha'i Faith in South Carolina.’ This conversation centers on The Bahá’í Faith in South Carolina during the post Civil Rights era years. We explore what lessons the Bahá’í experience in South Carolina might hold for us today, when many Americans wonder if it is even possible to construct a just multiracial society in such polarized times.

This is part 1 of this session—
