Today is the birthday of Bahá'u'lláh, the venerated founder of the Bahá'i faith. Bahá'i teaches that all religions of the world are part of the same narrative, that all faiths, in the end, are one. This pantheistic faith has six million adherents worldwide.
Also born today in 1815 — Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leader of the early women's rights movement. She codified the Declaration of Sentiments, a document which was foundational in granting women the right to vote in the United States.
