Comment in question LDS Definition of "black" Written by A.D. Powell , on 26-08-2004 04:08 How did the LDS church define “black” or “African American”? The “revelation” that “blacks” were entitled to the priesthood happened to coincide with the church’s expansion into Latin America - where Negro blood is common among people who DON’T identify as “black.” Also, the LCS practice of encouraging people to research their geneology in order to baptize dead ancestors would put many white LDS members in danger of finding black ancestry.
