The New York Times reports the conversion to the LDS church of Eldridge Cleaver, former Black Panther radical of the 1960s. He is the first nationally prominent African-American to convert to Mormonism. In 1995 he publicly reaffirms his faith in Mormonism, although he no longer actively attends LDS services.
