CNN features black Mormon Marvin Perkins

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Church member Marvin Perkins is among the African-Americans featured in CNN’s “Black in America.” In this two-minute video, he explains why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is “one of the best kept secrets” in American and the world.

“It’s funny because they automatically assume that I’m not Mormon because I’m black. There are few of us, but it’s growing. I know hundreds, if not thousands, of black Mormons.”
