In today's interview, we're joined by Paul Reeve. Paul Reeve is the Simmons Chair of Mormon Studies in the History Department at the University of Utah where he teaches courses on Utah history, Mormon history, and the history of the American West. His book, "Religion of a Different Color: Race and the Mormon Struggle for Whiteness" gives us an in-depth analysis of the church's history relating to the topic of race. In this interview, we discuss the racial context in which the church was restored, give a brief historical overview of events relating to the priesthood/temple ban, and give advice for those struggling with this topic.
