No Jim Crow church : the origins of South Carolina's Baha'i community / Louis Venters.

Venters recounts the unlikely emergence of a cohesive interracial fellowship in South Carolina over the course of the twentieth century, as blacks and whites joined the Baha'i faith and rejected the region's religious and social restrictions.
