This article was originally given as the 2006 presidential address of the John Whitmer Historical Association. Newell Bringhurst details Church actions and policies towards Blacks and women from the time of Joseph Smith through the time of Brigham Young. He highlights various leaders of groups which split off from the Mormon Church and notes how these schismatic leaders treated issues of race and gender in these major break-off groups. He concludes that Brigham Young and leaders of major schism groups responded to issues of race and gender in differing ways due to the ambiguous legacy of Joseph Smith. Joseph's concepts of the place of race and gender in Mormonism evolved over time, and thus represented "unfinished doctrines." Newell Bringhurst includes succession in the presidency of the Church also as an "Unfinished doctrine" following the death of Joseph Smith
