For the 175th anniversary of Mormon pioneers arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, FOX 13 News took a look back at pioneers of color who are often forgotten about when Utahns look back on history.
“These are people who were basically erased from public perception,” said Paul Reeve, the Simmons Chair of Mormon Studies at the University of Utah.While those faces were often forgotten by history, they are remembered by descendants who talk about their history proudly.
As a part of honoring pioneers of color, a historic occasion was celebrated Friday ahead of the Pioneer Day weekend as a new work of art honoring Black pioneers was unveiled at “This is the Place" Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. Those featured in the monument include Green Flake, Hark Wales, Oscar Smith, and Jane Manning and her children.
"For people to come together and be excited about our history, our joint history, is exciting. It’s unifying," said actor and musician Yahosh Bonner.The bronze cast sculptures arrived just two days before the dedication.
