Ramses Stewart-Johnson

Paul Reeve, Simmons Chair of Mormon Studies and expert on race in Latter-day Saint history, and Ramses Stewart-Johnson, founder of the North Texas Genesis Group, engage in a compelling discussion on racism within the church. They challenge the notion of historical ambiguity surrounding the priesthood and temple restrictions, diving into the historical origins and personal stories that highlight ongoing impacts. The conversation emphasizes the need for openness, empathy, and active steps to confront and root out racism in the community today.
