360:(a leadership position) of the church. Martins was born in Brazil to parents descended from enslaved African people. He had found success in his professional life but felt unfulfilled with the religious life he was pursuing. The missionaries visited his home in 1972 while he was going through a difficult spiritual crisis. The missionaries visited his home late one night and were worried about how to teach an African since the church had not yet reversed its policy. Indeed, Martins' first question upon inviting the missionaries into his home concerned the church's attitude toward race. The spiritual experiences that the Martins family had while investigating the church superseded their concerns for the racial policy of priesthood restriction, and they were baptized. They experienced much resistance from members of their extended family and former church friends, but eventually found peace with them. Martins served in his ward as a 453:
Fortaleza and Recife along the northeast coast of the country. By the 2010s, LDS Church growth was over 10% annually in Ghana, Ivory Coast, and some other countries in Africa. This was accompanied by some of the highest retention rates of converts anywhere in the church. At the same time, from 2009 to 2014, half of LDS converts in Europe were immigrants from Africa. In the Ivory Coast LDS growth has gone from one family in 1984 to 40,000 people as of early 2017. This growth lead to well over 30 congregations just in Abidjan by the early 2010s. The revelation also helped pave the way for the church's exponential growth in areas like Africa and the Caribbean. The church has been more successful among Black individuals outside the United States than inside, partly because there is less awareness of this past historic discrimination.

these cases, their records were marked and they were denied the priesthood. Because of these strict rules and regulations, very few people with Black ancestry joined the church. While missionaries were given significant teaching and instruction on the priesthood ban, church leadership purposely avoided talking to Brazilians about the priesthood ban, which left many Brazilians confused about the ban. Brazilian members often did not share American views on race, and did not want to implement the priesthood ban on Black men. This created significant friction between the Brazilian membership and the American leadership. This was partially alleviated in 1967 when the church allowed members who did not appear to be Black to have the priesthood even if they could not trace their genealogy out of Brazil. In 1978 the priesthood was extended to all male members, and the lineage lesson was dropped.

the South Africa Mission 1948–1953. Wright repeatedly expressed to the First Presidency the difficulty in establishing the church in the region caused by the church-wide ban on ordaining men of Black African descent to the priesthood. This was especially problematic because previous general authorities required even men who appeared white to prove a total lack of Black African ancestry before they could be ordained and records were often unavailable or incomplete. Two missionaries had been given the duty to work on genealogy research for the purposes of establishing which people were eligible for the priesthood.
184:"There is a kind of changing face of the LDS Church because of its continuing commitment to work in the inner cities." Sociology and Religious Studies Professor Armand Mauss says African Americans are particularly attracted by the focus on promoting healthy families. However, these numbers still only represent a fraction of total church membership in the United States, suggesting that African Americans remain comparatively hesitant to join, partly because of the church's past. Still, Don Harwell, president of the Genesis Group, sees it as a sign that "People are getting past the stereotypes put on the church." 738: 314:

In 1835, the official church policy stated that enslaved individuals would not be taught about the church without their enslaver's consent, and the following year was expanded to not preach to enslaved people at all until after their enslavers were baptized into the LDS Church.
