Brown v. Board of Education (1954) outlawed segration in the public schools and gave impetus to the civil rights movement. The Church's policy of denying priesthood to the blacks was the subject of much thought among the First Presidency and the Twelve during the years following this decision. President David O. McKay, during a 1954 tour to South Africa, decided to allow Latter-day Saints who had no outward evidence of "a Negro strain" to be ordained to the priesthood (unless there was proof to the contrary). President McKay referred to the ban as a policy or practice, but not a doctrine of the Church.
