'Abdu'l-Bahá in America
In 1912, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the son of the founder of the Bahá’í Faith, traveled from coast to coast across America after a lifetime of imprisonment and persecution.
He called on America to become a land of spiritual distinction and leadership and gave a powerful vision of America’s spiritual destiny — to lead the way in establishing the oneness of humanity.
Today we remember and celebrate ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s presence among us. Navigate this site to explore the rich heritage of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s journey across America — the themes He addressed, the cities He visited, and the people He encountered.
