By February 6, 2010
In conclusion: Mormon horns have piles of company and most of the folks keeping the idea were (probably still are) Mormon themselves.

Update: See end of list for Signature Book’s 2010 list of forthcoming titles.
Last year I put together, with help from a number of publishers, a list of forthcoming and recently published books on Mormon History. Most of those books highlighted last November have indeed found a place on bookshelves, so it’s about time to do it again. There are some exciting books that have recently come off the press and which are still forthcoming. I wasn’t able to be as comprehensive as last time, but there are still some neat things on the horizon that I was able to find, and maybe I’ll be able to do a follow up post. For now, I’m sure I missed some titles, so if you know of others, please leave a comment and I’ll add it to the list.

A year following the discussion of King?s life and death in 1968, a series of editorials and letters to the editor reignited the debate on King in a manner that reflected the deviating views of BYU students on civil rights. On 30 April 1969, assistant news editor Judy Geissler wrote an editorial titled ?In Memoriam: M. L. King.? Speaking to the idea of King?s life as a sacrifice to racial equality, Geissler declared that prejudicial words and attitudes had frequently led to the justification of discrimination, subjugation, and murder on the basis of race in the United States. She also provided a respectful biographical sketch on King in order to substantiate her own argument that BYU students should not only think about furthering equal rights but should ?get out and DO something about it.?

Sometimes I get bogged down in the details of my job and forget just how much I enjoy what I do. I?ve developed a list to remind myself why I got into this field just in case the tedium of it starts getting to me. Some of these are kind of silly, but others can have a profound impact.

To avoid either dragging out this series inordinately or clogging up The Mormon Archipelago, I’ve broken a seven-part run into three posts with links to sub-pages. The links (to date) are below.
