Race Unity Day

Race Unity Day, held annually on the second Sunday of June, was established by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States in 1957 — making it one of the oldest nationally recognized observances dedicated to racial harmony in America. What many people don't know is that this beloved community celebration has Bahá'í roots, born from the conviction that the oneness of humanity is not merely an ideal but a practical reality we are called to build together. Our community will be hosting a celebration on June 14th, 2026, and the planning work begins now. This is one of our most visible opportunities to open our doors to the broader community and demonstrate in joyful, concrete terms what unity across difference actually looks like. If you feel called to help bring this event to life, now is the moment to raise your hand.
