The history of the pioneers seems never-ending as if we've just skimmed the surface. I learned that there were Black pioneers in the past 15 years or so, but I think it was because of a book, possibly The Work and the Glory? I don't remember, but I remember having the same thoughts you expressed, Wow, I didn't know that before. Kudos to you for your involvement.Rachelle Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522589944408062365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235753667528365971.post-48143812406118172942010-02-12T07:17:54.836-08:002010-02-12T07:17:54.836-08:00Margaret, I am so glad you are cheering in my corn...Margaret, I am so glad you are cheering in my corner!<br /> S'mee, My goal is to find way to incorporate the history of black pioneers where ever and when ever I can. I'm so happy you learned about them in seminary. I think that's an excellent place to learn of them. I know it would have done wonders for me during those teenage years. I would love to hear from you those things you learned about the black saints where you live! Share the stories :)ShaBANGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435939559462982820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235753667528365971.post-48964609782003765332010-02-11T20:31:27.218-08:002010-02-11T20:31:27.218-08:00Amen to the above thanks!

I feel fortunate that, here in SoCal, we have been taught about the Black Saints who helped establish the valley where the Redlands Temple now stands! In seminary we were also taught that there were Black Saints who traveled west and also that much of the early persecution of the saints was in part due to Joseph Smith's views on slavery. What a legacy! I feel grateful that, although I feel I know very little about Black Mormon History, we did learn a bit! : )S'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235753667528365971.post-75099990379928275722010-02-11T14:27:10.627-08:002010-02-11T14:27:10.627-08:00Thank you, Karyn.
