It’s Juneteenth, and today I’m thinking about the LDS church’s history of racial discrimination.
You know the “priesthood ban”? The fact that black men were historically banned from holding the priesthood? It wasn’t just a priesthood ban. It was also a temple ban. Black people could not participate in the rites of Mormon temples.
The implications of this are horrifying. I’m not black, but I’m queer, and a lot of queer people are in the same position today, so I feel it keenly. Not being able to participate in temple rites means being effectively banned from the highest tier of Mormon heaven. It means, regardless of promises made about salvation being available to all, you don’t get to live with God again. Not only that, it means your family can’t be sealed together, so you won’t be an eternal family in the next life. Because of something as simple as your skin color.
I don’t know how many exceptions were made, but I know they were rare. I know Jane Manning, a black woman, was one. I know she was sealed, post mortem, to Joseph Smith for eternity. Not even as one of his plural wives.
As a servant.
What a slap in the face.
I also know that if I talk about this to my Mormon family members, they’ll get defensive and talk about how that’s all history, it was a different time, black people today shouldn’t hold grudges about it, blah blah blah.
The ban was lifted in 1978.
1978.
It hasn’t even been 50 years. This is living memory for many people.
Meanwhile the entire church can’t shut the fuck up about Joseph Smith getting shot and the pioneers being ~persecuted~ well over 100 years ago. (Conveniently glossing over what we did to Native Americans in the areas we moved into, but that’s another post.) Like…the hypocrisy.
Anyway. Happy Juneteenth, and if you haven’t looked into the history of the holiday, you should. (This article is a good start.) It’s not just a day made up by woke people (despite what my conservative family members think). It was celebrated for decades by black communities before being officially recognized as a national holiday. It’s a celebration of emancipation from slavery, which is worth celebrating.

Revolutionary Remembrance
Even more so than usual, this Labor Day weekend seemed like the end of summer to me. Actually, not just the end, but the finale. This was quite a productive summer, even though I didn’t really produce anything: there were more edits on Salem’s Centuries and the new experience of working as a guide at Historic New England’s Phillips House, but what I was really focused on was Salem’s experience of…
