Celebrating the two hundredth Anniversaries of The Birth of Baha'u'llah and The Bab
#1020110 added October 26, 2021 at 6:14pm
Restrictions: None
His Mark on History: To 'Abdu'l-Baha
His Mark on History:
To 'Abdu'l-Baha

He left his mark on history,
in newspaper of the day
New York Times or Tribune
Detroit Herald
Baltimore Sun
Chicago Post
Los Angeles Herald

etc.1

He left his mark on history,
and his footprints
on American and Canadian soil,
when for 239 days2
he traveled from east to west
and back again.

He left his mark on history,
when he spoke--
in churches, temples,
synagogues, and private homes--
about gender equality,
the oneness of humanity,
the oneness of religion,
the agreement of science and religion,
etc.
