Unity Feast Returns to Teaneck

A century after ʻAbdul-Bahá’s historic 1912 picnic in Teaneck, New Jersey, the Bahá’í community gathers again on the same sacred grounds for the Souvenir Unity Feast — a joyful blend of spiritual reflection, fellowship, and celebration of diversity. Visitors describe it as paradise, where unity and love shine through. Alton Williams shares how the community’s lived commitment to racial harmony drew him in. The site, once owned by coffee magnate Roy Cochran Wilhelm — deeply moved by ʻAbdul-Bahá — became a lasting spiritual haven after his 1951 passing. Though the Bahá’í Faith, born in Persia, champions global unity and ethics, its followers endure persecution, especially in Iran, drawing international concern.
