Coverage of the Bahá’í Faith and Bahá’ís in ''The Carolinian''

From Bahaipedia

Coverage of the Bahá'í Faith and Bahá'ís in The Carolinian, and Africa-American newspaper out of Raleigh, North Carolina, was relatively present in the later 1950s and through the 1960s after a few very early mentions in the 1940s. Unfortunately the available coverage of The Carolinian in Raleigh, North Carolina is available from January 6, 1945 to February 26, 1972 as of 2020.[1] But the coverage includes the founding of the Bahá'í community of Raleigh which grew to assembly status in 1957 and a number of their public activities as the community grew as well as some coverage of distant activities and messages of the religion. While most of the coverage is engaging and positive a few antagonist comments were also reported. There is also coverage of William Tucker and family before their pioneering to Argentina and after their return.

Earliest period[edit]

In February 1945 homefront Bahá'í pioneers Eva Flack McAllister and Adrienne Ellis visited elementary, high, and college schools in Fayetteville and apparently swung by Durham, from their homes in Greensboro, where they had been part of forming a racially integrated assembly in Greensboro; the newspaper article notes principles of the religion and that they were guests of Julia A. Simmons on Gillespie St in Fayettville.[2]

Meanwhile the Associated Negro Press out of Cleveland reported unrest in black leadership seeking more black churchmen. It mentions “A small Bahai church (sic) in America, dominated by upper class Negroes, has attracted only a few of our people."[3]

For the rest of the period the news, sparse as it is, is of distant developments. In 1952 one Bahá'í or several were noted among a list of groups “…enrolled for the summer workshop on Africa…" at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania,[4] and a photo of the Bahá'í Temple was published with a brief review of the religion for the 1953 dedication.[5]

Later 1950s influx[edit]

1954[edit]

Initially coverage remains of distant developments. In early July 1954 a statement reported as approved by the US National Spiritual Assembly is quoted speaking of the challenge of the H-Bomb, an early name for hodrogen thermonuclear weapon, for peace.[6] However news began locally too. By the end of the same month homefront pioneer Frances Falvey was in Raleigh and contributed an article on the memorial service undertaken of the new Shrine of the Báb.[7] In mid-September an article reviewed the Blue Ridge conference of the Bahá'í including Frances Falvey who spoke at the meeting which is partially quoted. The article also mentions about 20 blacks had attended and held camp fire sessions instead of “church meetings”.[8] In October Rocky Mount's William Tucker spoke at the McCuller Baptist Church, in Garner,[9] on a direct religious claim of the Bahá'ís.[10] On the next page of the Carolinian a group picture of the 1954 Blue Ridge Bahá'í Conference was published and mentions Falvey there.[11] There is a brief mention of Wilmingtonian Bahá'í Felicia (Felice) Sadgwar in November who was among presenters of music in a Wilmington function.[12] In December traveling Bahá'í teacher Winston Evans, coming from the World Council of Churches meeting in Evanston, Illinois, spoke at a Raleigh YWCA branch on the “Return of Christ” confusion at the meeting and presented to the YWCA audience on the claims of the Bahá'ís and Bahá’u’lláh on the matter.[13] A couple weeks later the Bahá'ís returned from the Greensboro convention to elect a delegate for the national convention - noting Frances Falvey and Mrs. Harold J. Wilson, and that William Tucker had been elected as the delegate.[14]

1955[edit]

In January, 1955, Bahá'í traveling teacher William DeForge was advertised for a talk in Raleigh.[15] A week alter DeForge was set to go to Rocky Mount where William Tucker gave an introduction talk in the City Recorders Court Room for a January 14 and noted the W. Kenneth Christian book “The meaning of the Temple”.[16] This was also timed with the mention of the national assembly decision on forming World Religion Day.[17]

In April Tucker chaired a World Youth Day panel event at Shaw University among interfaith presentations with Walter Wootten representing the Bahá'ís.[18] In July the national Bahá'í community responded to news of the persecution of Bahá'ís in Iran which was covered in The Carolinian.[19] This coverage came out on the Martyrdom of the Báb observance and Frances Falvey's home hosted an one in her home.[20] Falvey was living at West John Street and by mid-September was mentioned with Mrs. H. E. Wilson of E. Park Dr who had returned from the second Blue Ridge conference with attendees from 16 southeastern states and all meetings were integrated. Paul Haney, then chair of the national assembly, gave the keynote speech centering on the core teaching of the oneness of humanity. Some of his talk was quoted (but the newspaper has fainted to unreadability in parts.)[21]

That winter Durhamite pioneer Ludmila Van Sombeek spoke at the Bryant's Motel in Rocky Mount organized by the Tuckers.[22] The year ended with a Christian minister in a Bahá'í race unity meeting in New York comment carried in The Carolinian of the Bahá'ís as a living example of true brotherhood: “This is God’s garden of humanity and in it He has placed all peoples to live and make life beautiful."[23]

1956[edit]

In April 1956 came the news that the Tucker family were pioneering to Argentina and who were known to have had integrated meetings.[24] In June Falvey shared the message of the national assembly on the Bahá'í position on segregation being 'contrary to God's will'.[25] hosted the Martyrdom of the Báb observance at her home, and the newspaper conveyed her comments on the progress of Bahá'í buildings in Haifa.[26] Late in September the Bahá'ís marked Proclamation Day on the anniversary of the introduction of the religion to America.[27] In later October the Bahá'ís held a UN Day observance at the Harrison Library of eastern Raleigh[28] with a talk by Van Sombeek with Falvey interviewed on her views of the Bahá'í teaching on the Lesser Peace in this century.[29] That December Charles Somes and Frances Falvey were noted going to the state convention in Greensboro.[30] There was also a historical note of Bahá'í Robert S. Abbott in The Carolinian but not mentioning him as one,[31] and brief mention of Ten Year Crusade.[32]

1957[edit]

In February came the news that the US National Assembly had asked Bahá'ís to hold Negro History Week events, as reported by Falvey, with quotes of at least some of the message.[33] Terah Cowart Smith, from Greensboro, represented the Bahá'ís at a panel for such observance sponsored by the Greensboro Assembly at the County Courthouse covered in The Carolinian.[34] In March the Bahá'ís observed Naw Ruz at the home of Charles Somers, and Frances Falvey was interviewed for the newspaper coverage of it.[35]

North Carolina delegate Katherine Potter went to national convention along with Jack Davis, Terah Smith, and Frances Falvey and the article underscored the conventions around the world.[36] In later May the Bahá'ís observed the Declaration of the Báb with some of the newspaper claims of prophecy included.[37] In June came the news that the national assembly had declared a Race Amity Day and its message was largely quoted in The Carolinian.[38] In mid-June Margaret Quance appeared in the newspaper giving a talk "Death - A messenger of Joy" at the address of 2402 Van Dyke[39] which would long serve as a center of Bahá'í activity, (at least 1970.)[40] The address had been a home in 1956,[41] for rent in March 1957,[42] and by May was the cite of the formation of the Spiritual Assembly of Raleigh.[43] The Bahá'ís would indeed observe Race Amity Day at the Harrison Public Library with speaker Glenford Mitchell, Shaw University student, recalling the first Race Amity Convention.[44] A week later Charles Somers gave a talk on “The Reality of Man” at the same home,[45] and the location also hosted the Martyrdom of the Báb observance with a talk by Mitchell.[46] In August The Carolinian coverage occurred of the school board meeting in Greensboro challenging the firing of Bahá'í Elah Cowart led by Jack. M. Davis Jr. along with Zoe Meyer.[47] In mid-November Mark Daugherty gave a talk “Pattern for Future Society” to area Bahá'ís at the same address,[48] as did Etta Woodlen, from Wilmington, Delware, for two nights on “The Voice of God from Age to Age” in late November.[49] She had been speaking in various North Carolina locations for the month and returned to Raleigh to give a talk at the Harrison Library on “Baha’i solutions for Today’s Problems” in December.[50]

1958[edit]

In February 1958 Margaret Quance gave a talk “Prayer and Meditation” at the YMCA on S. Bloodworth St.[51] In March the Raleigh Bahá'í Assembly announced the observance of Naw Ruz and a memorial for Shoghi Effendi[52] who had died the previous November. In May Falvey attended the Chicago Intercontinental Conference and was interviewed by The Carolinian. It was also attended by Orphan Daughterty, Margaret Quance, Louise Sawyer, Louise Jackson, and Mark Daugherty.[53] In June the Bahá'ís held a Race Amity Day near Raleigh and which again recalled the first Race Amity Convention.

Mitchell was listed as one of the honor roll students of Shaw University sophomores,[58] and was a returning student that fall.[59]

That July the Bahá'ís observed the Martyrdom of the Báb and the newspaper did an interview with Louise Jackson, listed as secretary of the assembly,[60] and area Bahá'ís gathered when Curtis Kelsey, Auxiliary Board member, spoke at a meeting hosted at Shaw University late in October.[61] In November Mitchell was interviewed for coverage of the Bahá'ís observing the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh and was noted as chair of the assembly.[62] Mitchell attended the state convention in Greensboro and spoke there on the progress of Crusade and the Temple. Also attending were James & Mrs. Brodie and their children Jean and Sammy, Mark Daughterty, Frances Falvey, Orpha Doughterty, Louis Jackson, Ruth Mourer and Margaret Quance[63]

1959[edit]

A series of news articles by Mitchell were published in The Carolinian in the next months.[64] There was general coverage of the national convention.[65]

One of Mitchell's articles was a review of a number of immigrants lives and then himself and how his identity in the Bahá'í Faith pushes him to be of service.[66] Mitchell was soon on a student list of “Who’s Who".[67]

A larger article reviewing the religion covered events of the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh observance including the “A New Wind” 30 min film being shown at the Erdahl-Cloyd Union Theater at NC State with continual showings from 7:30pm to 11pm.[175][176] And a week later a diverse panel of women was hosted by Bahá'ís at 2402 Van Dyke Ave.[177]

The year closed with the Bahá'ís hosting Human Rights Day at the 2402 Van Dyke Ave with a talk by Patricia Hillow on the theme of “Human Rights - a universal standard”.[178]

1970[edit]

The Raleigh Major issued a proclamation for World Religion Day in January 1970 with a meeting held at the King Religious Center at NCState with a talk by Jay Scales on “World Religion - Basis for World Education”. Marguerite Ellingham was interviewed and quoted extensively in one of the longer articles on the Faith to date in The Carolinian with the focus of the article on the Bahá'í teaching of the oneness of humanity.[179] The YAAG (Young Adult Action Group) Inc on Martin St was set to “right a wrong” by “blacks for blacks” to which some individual “Ba’Ha’i”s had contributed some support.[180] A fireside was then going to be held Wednesday evenings at the “center” at 2402 Van Dyke Ave.[181] Carole Pritchard from Tampa recently come to Raleigh would run them at first in early March,[182] followed by Greg Gauntz from Dunn,[183] and then NC State student John McCrary.[184] There was then an article reviewing of history of Bahá’u’lláh - birth, imprisonment, Riḍván, and on to Constantinople and Akka - and that the Bahá'ís were then observing Riḍván.[185] In June Charles Abercroombie was set to talk at the Race Unity Day observance that the community was having at Salter White Point, Henderson. Larry/Lawrence Miller was chair of the assembly and interviewed. The theme was “education for diversity".[186] Then on June 23 some 15 black and white youth came to Raleigh to teach after a conference in Wilmette for youth.[187] In August a showing of “A New Wind” was held at the Youth Center at the State Fair Grounds of the Bahá'ís was advertised.[188] The Carolinian then covered an NAACP meeting held at Fisher Memorial Holiness Church with many issues covered - and that a Bahá'í would be introduced.[189]

Despite the fact that there was coverage of the religion every year since 1954, there was no mention of the religion in 1971 and few months of 1972 of the remaining available coverage. A major event in the period from the summer of 1969 through 1970 was the abrupt growth of the religion in South Carolina, the formation of the first spiritual assembly in Chapel Hill in 1971 which was racially integrated,[190] and lesser community growth in the inland southern Coastal Plain of North Carolina.
