Recounts the unlikely emergence of a cohesive, interracial fellowship in South Carolina, tracing the history of the community from the end of the nineteenth century through the Civil Rights era. By joiing the Bahá’à faith, blacks and whites not only defied Jim Crow but also rejected their society's religious and social restrictions.
