Millie’s Basement, by Diane Findlay

Based on photos submitted by Terri Rene DaVar in April 2023

In the 1970s and ‘80s, the lower level of Mildred & George Sullivan’s house in Des Moines was an unofficial Bahá’í Center for the community, as evidenced by the photos below. The woman singing with Curtis is Edith Stanton. My husband Bob and I remember attending some Feasts there, ourselves. Who else remembers gatherings there? Who can send in more photos?

In every Dispensation, the light of Divine Guidance has been focused upon one central theme.… In this wondrous Revelation… the foundation of the Faith of God, and the distinguishing feature of His Law, is the consciousness of the oneness of mankind. — ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, cited in The Promised Day is Come
