Dispelling the Black Myth -&- The Mistakes of Men: Can the Scriptures be Error Free? (WMV)

Renee Olson, "Dispelling the Black Myth" (Blacks and the Priesthood), Mesa, Arizona: The Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), 2002 FAIR Conference, Windows Media Video (WMV), 50 minutes.

Renee Olson used to be a practicing anti-Mormon who focused her attacks towards the relationship of blacks to the LDS Church. She now brings a unique perspective to this issue. She discusses anti-Mormon arguments and many of the myths that members of the Church currently hold on to. You will learn many of the myths and truths surrounding this important issue.

"The biggest splash made at the conference was the presentation by Renee Olson. Renee ... was certified by the Southern Baptist Convention in "Mormonism," at one time. She is now a faithful member of the Church and spoke on the issue of blacks and the priesthood, in addition to racism in the church, in general." --Cooper Johnson, excerpt from Meridian Magazine

"It was, by far, the best thing on the race issue IÆve ever experienced." --Kevin L. Barney

The Question & Answer period with Sister Olson following the main presentation is included.
