He added that for Smith try," racism to be totally eliminated from the LDS Church, "the history has to be rewritten." Lee agreed, adding that the mem- ship do not accurately reflect all of its members. "There needs to be a difference in the faces of the leadership of the LDS Church before any change can happen," she said. For Smith, bringing equality about in the LDS Church is a lifelong effort. "The discourse that goes on in the LDS Church is troubling to me," Smith said.
