A Bahá'í Perspective: Richard Thomas

Richard is Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University. He is the author of several books on the subject of race unity. His latest work with Gwendolyn Etter-Lewis is entitled " href="https://www.bahaibookstore.com/Search.aspx?k=Lights+of+the+spirit" target="_blank"Lights of the Spirit: Historical Portraits of Black Baha'is in North America 1898-2000". This work uncovers the role played by black people in the emergence of the Baha'i faith in North America. Drawing on a wide range of sources including personal essays, letters, and journals, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some extraordinary individuals. I have Richard read excerpts from the book in the interview.
