Here’s the video of Be One, the 40th anniversary celebration of the extension of LDS priesthood and temple worship to people of African descent.

I watched this with my kids and I found it a great way to teach them about this part of our history. My 10-year-old son cried when the narrators told the life stories of African American, African, Jamaican and Brazilian Mormons barred from the temple. The show starts 25 minutes in, after a talk by Elder Oaks.

Peace, but Not at Any Cost

I do hope, however, that this call to civility and love does not encourage people to avoid all difficult topics or advocacy. It's far too easy to say, "I am not political," or "I don't care about politics," or "I only focus on the good" to achieve peace. This peace comes at a great cost, however. And the people who pay that cost are often those who experience the daily costs of systemic racism, sexism, bigotry, and classism.
