...eternal plan, American blacks have been assured, they will some day be given the right to become Mormon priests. Although there is no sign that the day is imminent, Harold Lee, the "revelator," could theoretically receive the word from God any time. Meanwhile, he advises blacks to become Mormons anyway. Even if they cannot attain the highest privileges, he says, they will "get more by baptism into the true church than they would otherwise...
