Race Unity Day

Race Unity Day has been observed across the United States since 1957, when it was established by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the United States. It is a day set apart to celebrate the diversity of our communities, to have honest conversations about race, and to strengthen the bonds that hold us together as neighbors and fellow citizens.

The Bahá’í writings teach that the diversity of the human family is not a problem to be solved but a gift to be celebrated — that unity and diversity are not in tension, but are the very source of beauty and strength in our common life.

The Local Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Juneau is reaching out to organizations and community groups across our city with a simple invitation: help us make June 14th something meaningful for Juneau.

We don’t yet have a fixed plan — and that’s intentional. We believe the best community events grow out of genuine collaboration, shaped by the voices and gifts of everyone who shows up. Whether that becomes a gathering, a conversation, a celebration, or something we haven’t imagined yet, we’d love to find out together.

Planning is just getting started. Reach out and let us know you’re interested — or simply ask any questions you have. There is no wrong way to begin.
