In the Continent of Africa and in its neighboring islands, in both the
Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, the number of the avowed supporters of the
Faith has passed the three thousand mark; over two thousand five hundred
of whom belong to the Negro race. The number of territories opened to the
Faith in that fast-awakening continent and its neighboring islands has
risen to fifty-eight, while the number of localities where Baha'is reside
is over four hundred. The number of tribes represented in the Baha'i
Community is now over one hundred and forty, the number of local
Assemblies already established is over one hundred and twenty, and the
number of languages into which Baha'i literature has been and is being
translated exceeds fifty.
