"I don't consider it to be accidental. It was providential that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the NAACP would come together on common ground," pastor of San Fransisco's Third Baptist Church Reverend Amos Brown said in a Church video. "We need each other. We should not turn on each other during these difficult times."

The Church video "Linking Arms" shows the impact of the Church's partnership with NAACP in the wake of the organization's 110th national convention. A partnership that was often seen when President Nelson linked arms with those at the convention. 

"As I lock arms with President Nelson—not as black or white, not as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Baptist—but as children of God who are about loving everybody and bringing hope, happiness, and good health to all of God's children," Reverend Brown says.
