When and how did the priesthood restriction end?
The Short Answer
On June 1, 1978, after extended prayer in the Salt Lake Temple, President Spencer W. Kimball received a revelation that the priesthood would go to every worthy man, regardless of race. The apostles who were there described it as one of the most powerful spiritual moments of their lives. It's now scripture — Official Declaration 2.
