Juneteenth Meeting for Latter-day Saints

By June 18, 2020

We are grateful to organizer Melodie Jackson for passing on details for this event. Here are her words: “There will be some amazing people speaking and singing. It is a healing space for Us. By Us. To Us. I hope you can spread the word and invite as many black people as you can to come and hear each others’ stories. There are healers among us, and I’m excited for you to hear them and feel community, feel heard, and feel seen amidst so much chaos. It will be streamed live through this (Black Lives Matter to Christ) page! 6 pm MST time. Come ready to be validated and filled. See y’all there!”

While we are a Mormon history blog, and not a devotional outlet, we support the work of Black academics doing anti-racist work in Mormonism.
