Wow, Mr. Perkins, I commend you for this effort, I had no idea there was a project like this out there. What is your background? Where do you live? When did you join the church? Good luck to you, I will definiatly order the CD's. I especially liked this quote

We truly believe that as the word of the Lord on these issues is fully understood, many souls will come unto Christ. Our intention is to help those who desire to comprehend the words of the Most High concerning all men and women. In the process, many myths and false traditions may be dispelled.
Good stuff. I got the chills and felt the spirit very strong as I listened to you two brethen being strong black leaders in the faith talk in the clips.

Thank you for your kind words. We just launched the DVDs last week and have been working on the content for many years. Darius lives in Salt Lake and I in Los Angeles. I joined the Church Sept. 11, 1988 and have been working to find a loving way to bring this work forward since then. Darius the same but for over 40 years. One of the most important aspects of our backgrounds is that these issues almost kept us from joining the Church. That is until the Lord told us both that we were to join. We've seen these scriptural teachings bring souls unto Christ. We hope that the DVDs multiply these results exponentially. Blessings to you and yours.
Your brother,
Marvin
My wife and I were noticing just last Sunday in the tabernacle choir a man and women who were african american, and recenlty at the temple we saw a black couple. It is wonderful to see, I've been hoping for this type of cultural diversity in the church.
I have been studying about this lately, and look forward to seeing the DVD and your thoughts on this subject of our history. I also have some black friendes that I look forward to giving this too.
Thanks again, good luck to you and I feel the spirit of your message will do much good.
