Where is the link to Moroni’s Sunstone presentation on race in fundamentalism? I am really interested in listening to this. Thanks, Moroni for talking about such an important topic, and being so brave to tell your very personal story to help others understand the impact of these teachings. I think people are resistant to these facts because it might change the image they have of people they have put on a pedestal all their lives, which might affect the image they have of themselves. That is scary, especially when you have seen yourself as superior for so long that the idea of equality feels like oppression. Keep up the good work, Lindsay!
