American Testament: The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible and is a record of God's dealings with His chosen people in the New World. The main purpose of the Book of Mormon is "to the convincing of Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations." (Book of Mormon Title Page) It was written by ancient American prophets for our day (Mormon 8:35) and is an American testament of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nobody Knows: The Untold Story of Black Mormons

My cousin's wife, Margaret Blair Young, worked with Darius Gray on the documentary film "Nobody Knows: The Untold Story of Black Mormons".

The documentary addresses in great detail the various myths and misunderstandings regarding whether the decision to not admit blacks into the priesthood was a matter of policy or doctrine. Did the 1978 revelation on the priesthood come from God or from men? The answers will surprise even most long-time Mormons.
