This article tells the story of Len and Mary Hope, African American Latter-day Saints who joined the church in the early 20th century. Marion D. Hanks made a tape recording of the couple bearing their testimonies. "In the recording, the Hopes bear simple, powerful testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Len Hope also recounts the dramatic events surrounding his 1919 baptism. The tape is one of the earliest audio recordings of Black Latter-day Saints bearing testimony, making it an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its Black members."
