¿To Move The World¿ is the fascinating story of the life of Louis Gregory, the son of slaves and one of the first African-American Baha¿is. Gayle Morrison places the life of Louis Gregory within the context of the struggle of Black Americans to achieve racial equality and the growth of the Baha¿i Faith as an interracial community in North America in the first half of the twentieth century. Gregory, a lawyer, was an eloquent advocate of racial unity and bravely demonstrated that belief in his own life by marrying a white woman at a time when such cohabitation was illegal in many U.S. states. He helped to organize some of the earliest racial unity gatherings held in the U.S. Although Gregory is well known by Baha¿is (for example, a Baha¿i radio station ¿ WLGI ¿ in Hemingway, S.C. is named for him), his achievements deserve to be recognized more widely. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the struggle for civil rights or Baha¿i history.
