Race and Mormon Church Teachings
The chapter delves into the complexities of race-related teachings within the Mormon church, exploring contrasting views held by prominent figures like Sidney Sperry and Lowell Bennion. It narrates incidents involving individuals perceived as cursed due to their ancestry, a historic meeting where top leaders clash over racial ideologies, and the approach taken by President McKay to make exceptions for black men. The chapter also sheds light on the selective historical narrative presented by Mormon leaders to justify the priesthood ban on black men, culminating in a revealing conversation about race and segregation between Elder Peterson and Elder Smith.
