On a certain occasion in America ‘Abdu’l-Bahá “announced that He wished to give a Unity Feast for the friends. The Committee arranging for the affair had taken it to one of the city’s most exclusive hotels, famed for its colour bar. The coloured friends, troubled by the prospect of insults and discriminatory treatment, decided not to attend. When ‘Abdu’l-Bahá learned of this, He insisted that all the friends should attend. The banquet was held with all the friends, white and coloured, seated side by side, in great happiness and without one unpleasant incident.”
