___________________
Hand of the Cause born in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, in 1874, the son of a freed slave. He attended Fisk University and later studied law at Howard University. He practised law until 1906 when he took a position in the United States Treasury Department. Louis Gregory first heard about the Bahá'í Faith in 1908. He visited ‘Abdu'l-Bahá in Egypt and later in Haifa and ‘Akká. He travelled extensively throughout the United States teaching the Bahá'í Faith and was for thirty-five years the mainspring behind the work for Race Amity. He was a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States for many years. Louis Gregory passed away in 1951 and was designated by Shoghi Effendi as the first Hand of the Cause of his race.
