Thank you for the video. This is something every member of the church should know. I have been researched a lot this subject and what more dissapointed me was the fact that some leaders were not familiar about this subject showing that they didn't care too much because this wasn't something that affected them. But the thing is THIS WAS a part of church history and then it is why I say: every member should know and UNDERSTAND.

Thanks again for this video and my special thanks to sis Renee Olsons!

There is a problem with being "black." If you are not a racist, you shouldnt be describing yourself and others in racial terms. "Black" is a racial term, and according to racist ideology specifies dark skinned peoples of african american ancestory but more specifically phenotypical arangement. One drop of African blood makes you black in that standard. Hence how someone might lbe "black" while having light skin. African American is an ethnicity and culturaly identifiable group. "Black"is racist.

You've still been avoiding my question. I simply want to know why blacks were denied priesthood until 1979? Why so late?
