"Isaac Lewis Manning’s three baptisms into two LDS traditions in 1842, 1876, and 1893, offer an opportunity to explore what religious life looked like for African Americans who worshipped in predominantly white churches. Manning’s protracted lifespan moreover presents a chance to trace changing racial attitudes over the duration of his nearly ninety-six year existence. His religious journey thus provides significant insight into what it meant to be black, male, and Latter Day Saint in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Manning’s path in and through two LDS traditions further erodes perceptions of a unified “Black Church” in the United States at the same time that it expands our understanding of the ways in which “white churches” attempted to include—and exclude—black members."
