  • Race Unity Day – 8 June 2025

     

    Race Unity Day is observed annually on the second Sunday of June, which falls on the 8th June this year.

    Race Unity Day started in 1957 in the United States by the Bahá’í National Spiritual Assembly. The Baháʼí Faith (which has 9-10 million followers globally) believes in the oneness of God, religion and humanity.  They believe that God periodically reveals His will through divine messengers, like Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, with Baháʼu’lláh being the most recent. The faith emphasises unity, progress, and service, advocating for the abolition of prejudice and the pursuit of a just and harmonious world. The Bahá’í understood that racism is a hindrance to peace, so they started this day to promote racial harmony and understanding.

    This day, along with other events like Race Equality Week and the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, aims to promote understanding and unity among different racial and ethnic groups. So whatever your faith, we hope you use this day as reminder to keep working towards unity.
