"We are in the midst of a survey looking toward the possibility of admitting Negroes," said Hugh B. Brown, one of the two counselors serving President David O. McKay in the First Presidency of the Mormon Church.“Believing as we do in divine revelation through the President of the church, we all await his decision,” Mr. Brown said. Mr. Brown, a 79-year-old former attorney, said he believed that if the change were made, it would be a doctrinal revision for Mormonism of a magnitude matching the abandonment of polygamy in 1890. "The whole problem of the Negro is being considered by the leaders of the church in light of racial relationships everywhere," Mr. Brown said. "We don't want to go too fast in this matter. We want to be fair."
