[Black History] Revelation is received granting the Priesthood to those of African Negro descent. Concerning the revelation Kimball states, "I offered the final prayer and I told the Lord if it wasn-t right, if He didn-t want this change to come in the church, that I would be true to it all the rest of my life, and I-d fight the world against it if that-s what He wanted. But this revelation and assurance came to me so clearly that there was no question about it. . . . I knew that the time had come."
