	Mormon history
		Mormon missionary work continues throughout the world – into Mexico and South America and parts of Asia and Europe.
		Mormons find themselves on both sides of the conflict of World War II and many are trapped behind the Iron Curtain after the war.
		Mormons also celebrated the sesquicentennial of the Mormon pioneers' journey to Utah and, in 2005, they celebrated the bicentennial of the birth of Joseph Smith.

	Blacks and Mormonism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Black skin was also associated with a curse of hot climate in Smith's translation of the Bible, circa 1830, which describes a pre-deluge people called the "people of Canaan" (not to be confused with Canaan, the son of Ham, or the Biblical Canaanites), who were cursed because they fought against the "people of Shum."
		As it became known that Mormons had begun preaching to the local Native Americans, the suspicions of Missouri citizens were raised that the large numbers of Mormons might begin tampering with their slaves, and voting Mormons would threaten their policies on people of color.
		Phelps published an article in the church's newspaper, seeming to invite free fls into the state to become Mormons, and reflecting "in connection with the wonderful events of this age, much is doing towards abolishing slavery, and colonizing the fls, in Africa." ("Free Peoople of Color").

	Encyclopedia of Mormonism
		The Encyclopedia of Mormonism is a well-known semi-official encyclopedia for topics relevant to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church; see also "Mormon").
		"Mormonism" is the most widely-understood name of the religion even though it's an unofficial term and sometimes even considered a slur.
		No article of so-called Mormon historical revisionism is found in the Encyclopedia, which is unsurprising because after the Encyclopedia 's publication, several such scholars were excommunicated including some members of the 1993 "September Six".

	Mormonism
		The first edition of the Book of the Mormon contained numerous grammatical, spelling, and Punctuation errors, most (but not all) of which were corrected in subsequent editions.
		When this same Mormon begins to read some of the writings of the early church leaders (including the first edition of the Book of Mormon) they are generally surprised to find out that this wasn't always the doctrine of the church."
		We are not suggesting that they are intentionally deceiving you -- most of the young Mormons serving missions for the church are not well educated in the history of the church or in modern critical studies of the church.

		Mormonism arose during a time when many assumed the doctrine, now generally considered offensive and racist, that fl people inherited the curse of Ham or the curse and mark of Cain.
		As it became known that Mormons had begun preaching to the local Native Americans, the suspicions of Missouri citizens were raised that the large numbers of voting Mormons would threaten their policies on people of color.
		In the 19th century, when Mormonism was founded, this curse was widely accepted by Christians in the U.S. as a rationalization for racism and the enslavement of people of African ancestry, who were thought to be descendants of Ham, either through Canaan or his older brothers.

	Mormonism 201: Chapter 16
		The fl Methodist church, created not from a desire to be separate but from a desire to worship without discrimination at the hands of white brethren, was to become the most enduring legacy of Methodism's refusal to accord the fl communicant all of the rights and privileges of membership in the body of Christ.
		In 1977, the American Baptist Churches in the USA had a larger number of fls than any other non-fl denomination An interesting irony of the racial overtones still prevalent is that the American Baptist Churches of the South are now predominately a fl sub-convention of the American Baptist Churches in the USA.
		Black people come in every shade-but if God cursed Ham, it would mean that every cursed fl person would have to be the same shade If Ham were cursed, the color could never change, because it would not be determined by genetics, it would be determined by the curse.

	~~ Mormonism: NEGROES ~ Descendents of CAIN ~ Condemnation of Blacks and Indians
		"You see some classes of the human family that are fl, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable, sad, low in their habits, wild, and seemingly without the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind.
		A Mormon recantation of its racist foundation cannot happen because racism is directly hard-wired into the source code of the entire program.
		Although the Mormon Church will not make available the handwritten manuscript of the Book of Mormon, the R.L.D.S. Church has the handwritten printers copy, which was given to the printer to set the type for the first printing.

	Blacks and Mormons - LDS Racism Bigotry
		I'm Black and a member of "the church" and it was very difficult en painfull.But I know that the gospel is true and people are stupid and sometime full of hate against Blacks.
		I have friends in the church in the New York area (fl men who are college educated and in the church) They are not happy both are married to sisters (fl women who do not tolerate the church) although the missionaries are constantly trying to convert their wives.
		So there you have it from the Lord's annointed: fls (negroes), and all other than white races, are born into their respective circumstances due to a less than desirable performance in the pre-existence.

	Elijah Abel and the Changing Status of Blacks Within Mormonism
		As for the secular status of fl slaves in Missouri and the slaveholding South-regions of increased Mormon activity during the 1830s-the Church in 1835 officially adopted a strong antiabolitionist position which assented to the servile conditions of these fls.
		A final factor not to be overlooked as influencing the 1849 Mormon decision to deny fls the priesthood was the intensification of Mormon antifl attitudes during the 1840s.
		Because of his unusual status, Abel was the only known fl Mormon to fulfill not one but three missions for the Church: full-time missions in the 1830s and 1880s and a local mission in 1843.
