The 'revelation' regarding ending discrimination towards black people is, to my understanding, VERY different from most/all the other revelations in that the upper council or poobah or 'whatever' said it was more of a 'feeling' from God it was time to change, and there is no specific "THUS SAITH THE LORD" kind of wording available for that revelation.
You may not be old enough to remember when it happened (I remember it being on the news back then, I didn't get the backstory till a couple years ago) and can imagine announced revelations that occur when you're an adult carry a little more wallop than the ones you just read about. But did you ever hear any discussion of that revelation, or why it was different from the others ??
BTW, have you ever sought out the racial stuff in the church publications?
Would you mind if I did a thread on it, it is really quite amazing some of the stuff Brigham Young said in sermons about blacks (they wrote them down, YEA !! Go Mormon compulsion to record stuff that they probably shouldn't have) and other items recorded in the Book of Mormon and other church publications.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
