Ep. 002 - Race and Priesthood (feat. Paul Reeve)

In 1978, President Spencer W. Kimball received a revelation that ended a 130-year practice of excluding women and men of Black African descent from receiving Latter-day Saint temple ordinances, and Black men from being ordained to the priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Today I’m chatting with Professor Paul Reeve about the challenges of confronting antiblack racism in our collective past and in ourselves today.
