Baha'i history

Penny Richards, I find it more than curious that Alain Locke and Leslie Pinckney Hill, leader of Cheney University through the period, were also Baha'is. I wonder if some source might more explicitly link them. Regardless it would be interesting to see Hawes life as a Baha'i expanded beyond mere mention.

I found another point of contact…. Just a point, but lends interest to the theme - Louis G. Gregory and she and Locke also attended a social event together, among many. I wonder about more audience members…. "Princess Jacques de Broglie from France is guest of honor at home of Watt Terrys, and plays piano". The New York Age. New York, New York. 9 Mar 1929. p. 7.

Update! Mrs. Southerland Maxwell, one of the hostesses, is May Maxwell via her husband's name! Mary Hanford in the list might be Mary Hanford Ford. Smkolins (talk) 15:18, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
another point of contact is that another audience member, Harry Burleigh, gave a talk/performance at a Baha'i sponsored interracial meeting in 1933: "Committee on Inter-Racial Amity". Baha'i News. No. 74. May 1933. p. 13. ISSN 0195-9212. OCLC 3665115. Smkolins (talk) 11:47, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Another point of contact is with the performer - Marie Antoinette Aussenac de Broglie (a Woman in Red) - herself wrote a French article discussing the religion: Aussenac-Broglie, Marie Antoinette (1936). "La Foi et la Science Unies par L'Art". Baha'i World. An International Record (in French). Vol. 5. New York City, USA: Bahá'í Publishing Committee. pp. 529–32. OCLC 822724739.

You're on a roll! There must be a whole big untold story of this group. The Bahá'i people I've known have generally been very involved in social reform and community groups, so I guess it's no surprise that this bunch was too. Penny Richards (talk) 18:37, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
