Race, Passing, and Segregation in 1954

The chapter delves into the issues of racial passing, segregation, and the impact of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision in 1954 within the context of Mormonism. It explores the challenges faced by light-skinned Latter-day Saints of African ancestry who passed as white to access church privileges, as well as the varying responses of Mormon leaders to segregation and desegregation efforts in the United States during that time period. The chapter also sheds light on the discriminatory practices faced by prominent African American figures in Utah, illustrating the complexities of racial inequalities in American society during the 20th century.
