Sometimes people say “All right, name your single best evidence for the Book of Mormon” or “Name the three absolute proofs for the Book of Mormon.” “I don’t believe there are any such things...even if we found a stela in Central America that said, “I, Nephi, was here” people would still find a way to get around that."

An Interview with the Author: ‘A Global History of Blacks and Mormonism’
Engaging Mormonism and race is not an issue confined to the past; it is of immediate relevance to Mormon engagements in African and African diaspora communities throughout the world.
