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...refuse all association with organizations that would deprive citizens of their civil and religious rights.3

Gordon B. Hinckley: May the Lord bless us to work unitedly to remove from our hearts and drive from our society all elements of hatred, bigotry, racism, and other divisive words and actions.4

Alexander B. Morrison: [R]acism--the abhorrent and morally destructive theory that claims superiority of one person over another by reason of race, color, ethnicity, or cultural background--remains one of the abiding sins of societies the world over.5

Lowell L. Bennion: Latter-day Saints should be in the forefront of the battle for equal civil rights for all groups in society.6

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.7

Victor L. Ludlow: Racial or sexual bias can cloud judgments, and educational or social-economic discrimination can cause injustices. All citizens...need to be vigilant watchmen of society and the legal system to help insure that fair, equal justice prevails for all citizens.8
