Systemic Racism isn’t a popular or comfortable topic, and it’s not just limited to the secular world. Unfortunately, history shows that the Church universal has not been immune to its grasp, and neither have the Restoration traditions. Join Cuppa Joe host Wendy Eaton as she sits down with Matthew Harris to talk about insights from his most recent book, Second Class Saints: Black Mormons and the Struggle for Racial Equality. Hear about the ways in which the Community of Christ and the LDS Church have made progress in areas of racial justice and some of the people who have pushed for that progress.
