Our Volunteer Alice Faulkner Burch wrote this article as a myth-buster of myths still believed today about the L.D.S. Church's Temple & Priesthood Ban and Black Americans in that church and in the U.S. Asked why she wanted to write this, she said "Because these are not myths held only by members of the L.D.S. Church -- both Black American and White American -- but are held by the general populace of our country. Also I wanted to use this as an example of what the truth of history can do for us individually and collectively. I really believe in Sema Hadithi Foundation's motto of 'Unity through historical truth.' I created the picture that's part of the article that visually illustrates what removing myths from within us and from among us does: nourishes us and creates growth and renewal." https://lnkd.in/ex9wKpXT

MANY thanks to every person, company, and organization who requested either a presentation on Utah Black history or to rent one of our original exhibits which we create from our research on Utah Black history. And MANY thanks to everyone who attended one of the three events we organized (1 in Provo City & 2 specially requested by Millcreek City). It has been a very busy but beautiful two months of February teaching Utah Black history. We just completed a 10-day 9 am - 9 pm straight run of back-to-back presentations and installing and picking up exhibits. A hectic 10 days for sure! But . . OH! All that Black history we taught!

RUNAWAY ENSLAVED PERSONS IN UTAH: Unnamed Young Woman In late March 1849, when Utah was called Deseret, an unnamed young enslaved Black woman escaped from her enslaver Francis McKown and ran to Brigham Young's house. The account goes that she did not want to leave the valley and she feared her enslaver was going to take her to Mississippi, where they had come from. By the correspondence between Young and McKown, it appears the woman had been gone for quite some time. To Young's letter on the situation McKown replied: "Borne mine and I raised hur and it seems as though there was one out of the family ever since she has bin away." McKown promised Young that he would not "correct" her and requested Young to return her to him via a man named William Hooper. Apparently Young sent the young woman back to McKown via Hooper and soon afterwards McKown took her with him when he left the area to return to Mississippi.

RUNAWAY ENSLAVED PERSONS IN UTAH: RANDE Long before it became a state named Utah, the area was called Deseret by the Mormon settlers who arrived, many bringing enslaved Black Persons with them. As in the south, there are known instances of an enslaved person who ran away. In late March 1849, two years after Brigham Young had arrived, Rande, enslaved by Robert Smith, made his way from an outlying settlement to Great Salt Lake City (city's old name) and hid in the community with the aid of sympathetic members of the LDS Church. Benjamin Matthews was sent to track him down. Suspicious that Rande was being hidden by a company that was preparing to leave for California, Matthews wrote to Brigham Young for help. It is not known what Young's reply was. It is believed that Rande succeeded in freeing himself.
