Mormonism and the Negro *Completed*

Mormonism and the Negro
by John J. Stewart
This book is as horrible as it sounds. My family is planning to move to Colorado in the fall and is already cleaning and packing. I've been telling my Grandmother for quite some time that if she ever wants to get rid of any of her books that I would love them. She was a bit confused since I officially left the Mormon church two years ago and a large majority of her books are regarding Mormon history and teachings. But most of them are out of print. The church has since changed their position on many of these subjects and enjoys pretending these books and teachings either don't exist or they misrepresent themselves and their history. I want proof of these old teachings and that like everything else the Mormon church can and does change. I started reading this book today with many exclamations of "Oh my god!", "Whatever!" and "Ha!". It's quite unbelievable but still very interesting to read. Though I have quite a time trying to understand their backwards logic and justification for years of indoctrinated racism.
