In episode 3, historian and professor emeritus Newell G. Bringhurst and I discuss his new book Harold B. Lee: Life and Thought. Lee’s tenure as LDS Church president was short—less than eighteen months, but his influence upon Mormon practice and policy spanned the 1930s and into the 1970s. Anyone who knew him had an opinion about him. He was strong-willed, quick to anger, and sensitive to criticism. He was rigid in his views on race and the place of those of African descent within the church. Yet he spearheaded change that continues to influence the church to this day. Lee has now been dead for nearly fifty years and most Latter-day Saints know little about him. Just who was Harold B. Lee, eleventh president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?
