Letter: President Nelson, bring that message of healing to San Juan County

(Photo courtesy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson and his wife, Wendy, are greeted by NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson at the NAACP's 110th annual national convention in Detroit on Sunday, July 21, 2019.

It’s wonderful that Mormons now have a mission to the NAACP.

But what’s preventing LDS President Russell M. Nelson from preaching this in San Juan County some fine morning? Racial divisions at home need attention, too.
