Description
-
Willard Richards, counselor to Brigham Young in the Latter-day Saint First Presidency, offers his own interpretation of the Latter-day Saint priesthood restriction within two months of Young's strident speech to the legislature. Richards draws on some of Young's ideas, but adds his own unique explanation as well. He draws on the Tower of Babel story to justify the racial restriction. “To the Saints,” Deseret News, April 3, 1852, 2. [Willard Richards, Editor]
