This 2020 letter from the Universal House of Justice to the Bahá’ís of the United States addresses a pivotal moment of social change spurred by the nation's conscience. It underscores the historical pattern of regression following progress in racial equality and cautions against discouragement. The letter emphasizes the Bahá’í community's role, guided by Bahá’u’lláh's teachings and previous guidance from ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá and Shoghi Effendi, in contributing to the eradication of racial prejudice and fostering a just and united society. It stresses the necessity of a moral and spiritual transformation, urging believers to employ love and divine principles in their efforts for social betterment, while maintaining a distinct approach rooted in Bahá’í teachings. The communication assures the community of trials and triumphs ahead, encouraging them to emulate ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá's example in their pursuit of unity.
