Join us for a Mormon Studies lecture with Quincy D. Newell, who will talk about how our understanding of American history changes when we consider the life of Jane Manning James, a Connecticut-born African American who joined the fledgling Mormon movement in the early 1840s. Newell, author of the first full-length biography of James, Your Sister in the Gospel: The Life of Jane Manning James, a Nineteenth-Century Black Mormon, will discuss how James’s life adds depth and nuance to our histories of African Americans, American religion, American women, and the American West.
