This article is a reprinted version of an chapter in Sperry Symposium Classics: The Doctrine and Covenants. It tells the story of how President Kimball and other apostles viewed the priesthood ban imposed on those of African descent. After Kimball received the revelation to remove this ban and made the announcement, now canonized in LDS scripture as Official Declaration 2, the author records the joy that the Latter-day Saints in Africa felt.
