Listen to a podcast episode about the night of the Bab's declaration on news.bahai.org. "The events of this night are the origins of the global Baha’i community’s endeavors for the betterment of the world. From community building activities, to projects of social action, to involvement in public discourse, those seeking to put into practice Baha’u’llah’s teachings find the origin of their efforts in that first conversation. In this year, the Baha’i World News Service is examining some of the most salient moments in the life of the Bab. The latest podcast episode focuses on the night of His declaration."

Local recording artist and storyteller Luke Slott has published a series of videos telling the dramatic stories of the Báb and His followers. Watch the videos.
