This 26-minute video reviews the 25-year history of the Black Men's Gathering and was produced under the auspices of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bah?'?s of the United States. It features reminiscences of the annual conclaves that over the years drew in large numbers of believers from the far corners of the nation, supporting each other in the process of overcoming the grievous and slow-healing wounds of several hundred years of oppression. It follows some of those men's many services and global travels to spread the unifying teachings of Bah?'u'll?h.
The Universal House of Justice in 2012 described the Bah?'? Black Men's Gathering as "a vibrant and spirited enterprise, which has assisted contingents of African American men to deal with certain obstacles confronting them, to foster a sense of fellowship and kindle their faith and commitment to Bah?'u'll?h, and to encourage them to find an effective part to play within the recent series of Plans."
