Keep in mind the Mormon Church did not allow black membership until the 1960’s.

When the church was organized in Fayette New York, there were "people of color" in attendance and they were some of the first members. I believe you are referring to giving the priesthood to these people of color which happened in 1978. Either way, you are way off.

So you are verifying that people of color had no import in lds until 1978. Wow, finally a truth.

Don't worry; we Inmen will correct the wrong ideas about MORMONism with our QUOTES from MORMON writings.

You may post MORMON writings to support YOUR view as well; if you wish.

I was only off by 9 years. If that’s “way off” to you, then so be it.
