Revelation or Secret Meeting? How the Mormon Priesthood and Temple Bans Ended | Ep. 1954

Revelation or Secret Meeting? How the Mormon Priesthood and Temple Bans Ended | Ep. 1954

What were the events and who were the key characters that led to the lifting of the priesthood and temple ban for black people? In this episode Matt Harris will answer those questions. Rumors have gone around that the ban was lifted due to the IRS threatening to take away their tax exempt status, or because of the lawsuits involving the NAACP, etc. Matt Harris puts many of these rumors to rest and answers the real reason why (and how) the ban was lifted.
