So after the government warned them about the civil rights laws, lo and behold the head of the church had a magical revelation that black people aren't cursed descendants of Ham after all.From what I've heard, it was actually because they wanted to get a temple in Brazil, and, since the subject of race in Brazil is incredibly complicated, so, therefore, they decided Blacks were okay in God's eyes now.
