In the 1840's, a reborn African American woman, Jane Manning, moved to Nauvoo, Illinois and became one of the first Black Mormons. She soon met with Mormon's founder Joseph Smith and his wife Emma, ​​so she eventually became a member of the family. Speaking of family members, I am a member of my family. Mormons believe what they call "seal" based on the idea that families can be together forever, and Joseph and Emma Smith will seal her forever in their house I beg you. But in 1844, Joseph Smith was assassinated by a mob. After his death, the new leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints established a policy prohibiting black members from participating in the temple's ritual.

Green: You explained Jane Manning James, a black woman. He was living a contradictory life, longing for becoming a member of the Smith family and the Mormon church. She hopes to go out with her family forever, an important part of Mormon theology, but she has been deprived of this privilege in her life. Muller: The question you raised now is the question I am still thinking and may consider the rest of my life. Why did this woman who was clearly filled with incredible wisdom, skill, and perseverance put it in the community that would not make her a member? I truly believe that she believes in the gospel at the end of the day, she is dedicated to her life.
