At 14, Richard (Ricky) Abercrombie was besieged by prejudice because of his multi-racial background, and angered by unsatisfactory answers to his heartfelt questions about religious truth. The time was 1960, and the place was Greenville, South Carolina. Ricky began carrying a gun, skipping school, and numbing his painful emotions with alcohol. His parents were worried and his future looked bleak. What happened next - an invitation to a birthday party at the home of a Bahá’í family - changed his life forever. Ricky became intrigued by Bahá’í teachings on racial equality, peaceful strategies for social justice, and the fundamental unity of religion.

I don’t think I’ve met Ricky, but I know many of the wonderful people he recalls in his book. I agree when at the end, he cites his noble parents for the stellar deeds that made his awakening possible. I was likewise blessed with noble parents. I remember Eulalia Bobo well, as a spiritual force. She and my mom Jane were friends and despite little schooling, were professors none could best in understanding and expression. I hear them laughing together in Heaven at this moment. Thank you Mr. Abercrombie for sharing your heart and your historic journey
