To Move the World is more than a biography. It brings into sharp focus a number of strands: the life of Louis Gregory, the social and racial forces at work in the United States during his lifetime (1874-1951), and the dynamics of the Baha'i Faith that were shaping, often against the wishes of individual members, a community unequivocally committed to the oneness of mankind and the elimination of racial prejudice.

As a writer, lecturer, and administrator, Louis G. Gregory stood in the forefront of every struggle the American Baha'is made to establish racial amity. Today, some thirty years after his death, "noble-minded, golden-hearted" Louis Gregory still stands as a beacon and a tower of strength who bequeathed a legacy showing how it is possible to eliminate racial prejudice from our lives and, in so doing, to move the world.
