“Remembering Utah's Forgotten Black Pioneers”

Last week I had the amazing experience of giving a presentation at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City. Here is a promotion for the event.

Here is an advance notice in the Salt Lake Tribune. The quotes were from an interview for a story that did not run.

Historian to discuss black Mormon pioneers such as Green Flake and Utah’s relationship with slavery

Here is a write-up of the event from Deseret News.

Histories of black Mormon pioneers remind us ‘all are alike unto God’

And here is one from KSL.

“Remembering Utah's Forgotten Black Pioneers”

Note: Salt Lake Tribune commenters will complain about anything and everything (it’s best to leave them alone) but one woman left a touching comment on the KSL story about the experience of living in the Samuel and Amanda Chambers house.

I will be giving the presentation again at my stake's upcoming women's conference, and possibly also at a meeting of the local chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers.
