Scholars & Saints

This bonus episode of Scholars & Saints is taken from the 2023 University of Virginia Mormon Studies research workshop entitled: "Mormonism in Africa and the African Diaspora". During the workshop, Dr. W. Paul Reeve, Simmons Chair of Mormon Studies and Chair of the Department of History at the University of Utah, delivered this lecture detailing how data allows us to ask and answer new questions about Latter-day Saint racial history and illustrated his point with his database "A Century of Black Mormons": https://exhibits.lib.utah.edu/s/century-of-black-mormons/page/welcome
