Last Laborer - Thoughts & Reflections of a Black Mormon

Signed by author inside front cover.; Given its history regarding blacks, why would any African American even join the LDS Church? Yet Keith Hamilton, the grandson of a Southern Baptist minister, joined the Church in 1980, while a college student in North Carolina. He then became BYU’s first black law-school graduate and one of the Church’s first black bishops. In his thought-provoking and often humorous book, Last Laborer: Thoughts and Reflections of a Black Mormon, Hamilton explains how and why he joined the LDS Church. He also shares uncommon and well-researched insights on issues related to the historical "Mormons and Blacks" controversy, through perspectives centered on the Church’s watershed 1978 revelation on priesthood. ; 6.25" x 9.25"; 336 pages; ; Signed by Author.
