The Story of the Baha'i Black Men's Gathering provides insight into an individual initiative that, over the years, has provided a framework to spiritually uplift and empower men of African descent to play their part in helping to build the "new world order" foretold by Baha'u'llah, the Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i Faith. In 1987, Dr. William "Billy" Roberts invited a group of Baha'i men of African descent to a meeting to prayerfully consult on pathways to their spiritual transformation and service to the Baha'i Faith. This book, which celebrates twenty-five years of the Black Men's Gathering, is a story of friendship, hope, struggle, joy, transformation, and brothers arising to serve the Faith of Baha'u'llah. Common threads throughout the book are prayer and the love of and obedience to the Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Baha'i Faith. Not intended to be a comprehensive narrative, this book provides the reader with an insight into the milestones of the Gathering and its impact on the individual as well as local, national, and international communities.
