April 11, 1912 was ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s first day in America. Reporters were transported by tugboat to board the Cedric. ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s first words were about journalism.
“The pages of swiftly appearing newspapers are indeed the mirror of the world....But it behooveth the editors of the newspapers to be sanctified from the prejudice of egotism and desire, and to be adorned with the ornament of equity and justice.”
