[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 927799, member: 1246"] Blacks weren't considered to even have a soul at one time......what amazed me is that many blacks were Mormon at that time too. Of course, just in time the prophet had a vision and then that belief was changed. Anytime there's a problem, the prophets will have a vision. I don't believe in their visions. "Black Mormons were considered equal in the time of Joseph Smith, and there were at least several dozen black Mormons in the time of Joseph Smith including at least one Presiding Elder in Boston. 1865 the U.S. government frees all slaves. Black Mormons (about 50 to 70 individuals at this time) form a small farming community in Salt Lake Valley called "Fort Union" or "Union" (now part of Midvale, Utah). Not long after Brigham Young died in 1877, Church leaders began to preach the "Less Valiant Doctrine"; that some spirits who followed Jesus in the War in Heaven were "less valiant" than others and were punished by being born into the seed of Cain as Negroes (and denied the priesthood and the ordinances of Mormon Temples which lead to eternal marriage and godhood (exaltation). A small number of black Mormons remained in the Church during the 130 year "Priesthood-Ban Era" which was from 1848 to 1978, but most were inactive and perhaps a dozen "Negro" converts or less were made each year. On June 8th 1978 (seven years to the day after the Genesis Group was formed in Salt Lake City by Ruffin Bridgeforth Jr., Darius (der-RAI-us) Gray and Eugene Orr) Mormon Church President Spencer W. Kimball announces that the Priesthood-ban has ended via a letter to church leaders and the media later called "Official Declaration 2" (nicknamed "The 1978 Revelation").

About 20,000 white Mormons (who were taught that to give the Negro the priesthood would not happen in mortality) leave the Church, but most Mormons are extremely happy with "The 1978 Revelation".
