In No Jim Crow Church, Louis Venters 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 Baha'i faith,
blacks and whites not only defied Jim Crow but also rejected their
society's religious and social restrictions. The religion which
emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind, arrived in the
United States from the Middle East via northern urban areas. As
early as 1910, Baha'i teachers began settling in South Carolina.
Venters presents an organizational, social, and intellectual
history of South Carolina's early Baha'i movement and relates
developments within the community to changes in society at large,
with particular attention to race relations and the civil rights
struggle.
