Summary
In this episode, we join Matt Harris to discuss the aftermath of lifting the priesthood and temple ban in the LDS Church. We explore how Bruce R. McConkie's account of the revelation was embellished and the damage control efforts by top church leaders. We also examine President Kimball's controversial remarks about Native Americans and his later regret over those comments. This discussion focuses on chapter eight of Matt Harris’ book, "Second Class Saints."
We are thrilled to announce that we have reached our donation goal to compensate Dr. Matt Harris for his contributions to this series. We sincerely thank everyone who supported this effort. While the goal to pay Matt has been met, producing this series incurred significant costs for the Open Stories Foundation.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone this is Dr. John Delian of Mormon Stories Podcast. I want to thank you for joining us today on this epic 17 part series |
| 0:10.2 | featuring Dr Matthew Harrison, his amazing book, |

| 0:26.3 | coverage of this groundbreaking book that's talking about the Mormon churches |
| 0:32.0 | priesthood and temple ban against black people and then the |
| 0:35.8 | dynamics theater workings the political mocky nations of how the sausage gets |
| 0:40.5 | made in terms of lifting the priesthood ban in the aftermath. |

| 0:54.4 | compensate Dr. Harris for his contributions. That's the good news. The bad news is, you know, because we made the promise that 100% of the |
| 1:04.9 | donations would go to Matt, we have not received any compensation for about the |
| 1:10.8 | $20,000 of production costs |
| 1:13.2 | that we incurred to produce this series. |
| 1:16.0 | And that sort of imbalance would make it |
