Rev. Amos C. Brown writes that we should follow the LDS Church’s example to heal divisions and move forward.
Amos C. Brown and LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson during the announcement of new joint initiatives with the NAACP in Salt Lake City on Monday, June 14, 2021.Some 26 years ago, President Gordon B. Hinckley responded to a question from CBS’s Mike Wallace about the difficult history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and race.“Look, that’s behind us.”
I respect the experience and perspective of the individual who wrote those words. Granted, I don’t see what he sees. But he omits important facts. It’s true that the church has had challenges since then with race. But, as Hinckley said, “That’s behind us.” In recent years, I have stood arm-in-arm with President Nelson to announce important joint initiatives of the church and the NAACP. For example, the church committed millions in scholarship money to the United Negro College Fund to help young Black students.
