Unfortunately, census and other vital records from the period do not offer additional clues as to Wesley Taylor's identity. Until further evidence emerges, Century of Black Mormons recognizes a Mr. Wesley Taylor as a “faithful” Latter-day Saint living in Utah in 1896.

Today we remember Wesley Taylor who was described as a faithful African American member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who lived in Utah towards the end of his life.

Her life stands as a testament to her commitment, tenacity, and the deep yearning in her heart for all the blessings promised to Latter-day Saints. It is also a witness to the pain that Black Saints experienced in their chosen faith . . .

Today we remember Philida "Phyllis" Jacoba Elizabeth February Daniels Sampson who was baptized a Latter-day Saint in South Africa in 1909. Phyllis and her family were of mixed racial ancestry, or “coloured” in South African terminology.
