On the 64th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, the LDS Church’s governing First Presidency and top NAACP officers called on the world to “demonstrate greater civility, racial and ethnic harmony, and mutual respect” while eliminating “prejudice of all kinds.”
“In meetings this morning,” Nelson said, “we have begun to explore ways — such as education and humanitarian service — in which our respective members and others can serve and move forward together.”
“President Nelson, the statement you just made expresses the very core of our beliefs and mission at the NAACP,” he said.
