Hugh B. Brown: [I]t is a moral evil for any person or group of persons to deny any human being the right to gainful employment, to full educational opportunity, and to every privilege of citizenship....We call upon all men, everywhere, both within and outside the Church, to commit themselves to the establishment of full civil equality for all of God's children.1

Harold B. Lee: There is no room for discrimination in the Church....We in the Church must remember that we have a history of persecution, discrimination against our civil rights, and our constitutional privileges being withheld from us.2

Spencer W. Kimball, N. Eldon Tanner & Marion G. Romney: As a matter of doctrine and practice, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have consistently counseled members of the Church to observe the constitutional law of the land in which they live and to refuse all association with organizations that would deprive citizens of their civil and religious rights.3

Howard W. Hunter: [The gospel] is a message of life and love that strikes squarely against all stifling traditions based on race, language, economic or political standing, educational rank, or cultural background, for we are all of the same spiritual descent.4

Lowell L. Bennion: Latter-day Saints should be in the forefront of the battle for equal civil rights for all groups in society.5

Hugh Nibley: [F]ree institutions and civil liberties are, as history shows, in constant danger. They are even attacked by those who would justify their actions as a defense of free agency and insist that artificial barriers erected by law to protect the rights of unpopular and weak minorities are an attempt to limit that agency.6

Victor L. Ludlow: All citizens...need to be vigilant watchmen of society and the legal system to help insure that fair, equal justice prevails for all citizens.7

Robert L. Millet: Latter-day Saint theology condemns unrighteous dominion in any form, as well as any type of discrimination because of race, color, or gender. God is no respecter of persons.8

Lynn Matthews Anderson: [E]quality in a society is a correct measure of its righteousness--when the people are righteous, they treat one another as equals; when they fall into unrighteousness, there is great inequality both temporally and spiritually.9
