MDH comments on how missionaries did not work with black proselytes.
Marion D. Hanks, Interview with Jessie Embry, May 18, 1989, MSS 7752, transcript, BYU Special Collections
When I interviewed Marion D. Hanks, who had served a mission in Ohio and stayed with the Hopes once when he was ill during the 1940s, I asked, “Do you know of any particular case of someone going and telling them they couldn’t go to church?” Hanks replied, “No, I think it was more subtle than that. It was just understood. It had been made known to them that they were not to be there."
