Episode 16 of Polygamy dives deep into how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has shaped public memory of plural marriage over 150 years. We examine the competing narratives that emerged after Joseph Smith's death, with Brigham Young emphasizing polygamy's importance while the RLDS Church (led by Joseph Smith III and Emma Smith) denied Joseph's involvement. We trace how the 1890 Manifesto forced a dramatic shift in the church's narrative, leading to a reinterpretation of celestial marriage and a reimagining of Joseph and Emma's relationship in modern Mormon culture.
