Two members of the Black 14 — a group of Wyoming football players who were kicked off their team in 1969 for planning to protest Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ policies during a game against BYU — are being honored this week in Provo.
The 1969 incident, which put a spotlight on LDS Church policies, will be the subject of a student-produced documentary being shown on BYU’s campus.
Ahead of the No. 19 Cougars’ matchup with the Wyoming Cowboys, Mel Hamilton and John Griffin will light the Y on the mountain above LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday night. “The Black 14: Healing Hearts and Feeding Souls” was produced by students in the BYU School of Communications and details the Black 14′s plan to protest LDS Church policies, which at the time banned Black males from holding its priesthood and Black men and women from entering its temples.
