How many blacks were members of the LDS Church prior to 1978?

Let’s see how long it will take you to come up with a figure, and I’ll bet it was less than 100 world wide. It was so nice to let them eat and drink with you.

Green flake was a blave slave owned by Brigham Young...

he drove the fancy carriage that Young went to the Utah Territory in...

]but he was never a member of the Mormon religion...

He or another of the black slaves who were forcably taken to Utah was sold as a tithe or offering to the Mormon temple...

A black woman who was also a lifelong slave in Utah was granted by her “master” the privilege of being a future family slave in the Mormon afterlife because of her uncomplaining unpaid servitude....

How benevolent...

I believe you will find the answer by looking to the NBA (National Basketball Association).

How ironic that the New Orleans Jazz moved to Salt Lake City in, that's right, 1979.
