| Racial prejudice. In a letter written to the North American Bahá'ís in 1938 Shoghi Effendi identified it as ‘the most vital and challenging issue confronting the Bahá'í community at the present stage of its evolution. The ceaseless exertions which this issue of paramount importance calls for, the sacrifices it must impose, the care and vigilance it demands, the moral courage and fortitude it requires, the tact and sympathy it necessitates, invest this problem, which the American believers are still far from having satisfactorily resolved, with an urgency and importance that cannot be overestimated.'34 |
| ‘Freedom from racial prejudice, in any of its forms,' he further stated, ‘should. . . be adopted as the watchword of the entire body of the American believers . . . It should be consistently demonstrated in every phase of their activity and life . . . ‘35 |
