The racism taught as doctrine in the July 17, 1947 letter by the First Presidency to Dr. Lowry Nelson, was a tentacle of the apostasy that held on after the restoration, and polluted the minds of the Lord's anointed. Lucifer himself was the origin of these folk doctrines, and he sought to destroy the church by whispering lies in the ears of the prophets through the years to prevent the elect, foreordained for leadership, faithful African people of the earth from receiving blessings. God was not the source of the doctrines. Lucifer took pride that he was able to thrash prophets in this way just as he laughed with glee when Mark Hoffman deceived prophets with his forgeries. It is a time for tears that it took so long for the voice of the Lord to be heard. Also a time for joy that we can move on into the future and let the scars preserve for us a remembrance that we are a fallen people, subject to spiritual disease, which can rise from the dust through Jesus Christ - the captain of the poor, the oppressed, the discriminated.
