"The Mormon Church's denial of its priesthood to Negroes of African lineage 'will change in the not too distant future," according to Hugh B. Brown, one of the highest ranking officials in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Lester Kinsolving, religious columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday. Pres. Brown, who is first counselor to Pres. David O. McKay, told Mr. Kinsolving that admission of Negroes to the priesthood will come about "in the ordinary evolution of things as we go along since human rights are basic to the Church."
