I am his co-author. My husband is Bruce. Just for clarity's sake. I can't say for sure if he received your letter, Sister Waring. I hope so. Deseret Book usually forwards responses to us. Thank you so much for taking the time to write. Darius's health has been a bit of an issue for the past several years. If he didn't respond, it was likely due to health issues. Most here probably know that our next screening of the documentary will be on Saturday June 14th at 12:30 p.m. at the Museum of the African Diaspora, as part of the San Francisco Black Film Festival. (www.sfbff.org ). Please spread the word if you have friends in the bay area! Darius’s wife is named Leslee. I am his co-author. My husband is Bruce. Just for clarity’s sake.

Thank you both for building bridges of understanding between lds members of every background. Thank you for doing so in a way that strengthens our testimonies. I am really looking forward to seeing the DVD. Did Darius ever receive the letter I sent him through Deseret Press? In February 2005 I wrote and shared some of my own personal racial experiences after reading the three volumes of "Standing on the Promises."

I would love to get a couple of copies- one for myself, and one for a close friend who is Black, and has had some questions. I'm really looking forward to seeing this! Margaret-

I Live there!). We hear much of the local Cornish saints who were converted and started the long and often perilous journey to the Salt Lake basin (many were miners. But hear very little on how people of African descent were accepted into the Church. I would love to see this film and learn more of a history that sadly, many of us are ignorant of.
