Recounts the unlikely emergence of a cohesive, interracial fellowship in South Carolina, tracing the history of the community from the end of the nineteenth century through the Civil Rights era. By joiing the Bahá’í faith, blacks and whites not only defied Jim Crow but also rejected their society's religious and social restrictions.
In No Jim Crow Church, Louis Venters recounts the unlikely emergence of a cohesive, interracial fellowship in South Carolina, tracing the history of the community from the end of the nineteenth century through the Civil Rights era. By joiing the Bahá’í faith, blacks and whites not only defied Jim Crow but also rejected their society's religious and social restrictions. The religion which emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind, arrived in the United States from the Middle East via northern urban areas. As early as 1910, Bahá’í teachers began settling in South Carolina. Venters presents an organizational, social, and intellectual history of South Carolina's early Bahá’í movement and relates developments within the community to changes in society at large, with particular attention to race relations and the civil rights struggle.
