This weekend I helped Mormon Newsroom document an event the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah called "Be One." It shared the history of the African American heritage in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and celebrated the Church’s June 1978 revelation that extended "the blessings of the priesthood and the temple to all of God's children everywhere in the world."

Guest performers Gladys Knight, Alex Boyé and the Saints Unified Voices performed musical arrangements that got the audience on their feet and singing along. Here are a few photos and a video we put together about the evening.
