This article discusses the impact of religion, specifically Mormonism, and race in Mitt Romney's presidential campaign of 2012. It explains that a large amount of focus was given to the LDS church history before 1978, when the church was viewed as a racist organization, particularly because Romney was running for president against the current African American president, Barack Obama.
