Stand Up for Freedom
Elder Ezra Taft Benson — Assembly Hall, Temple Square, February 11, 1966
Newly returned from presiding over the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ European Mission, Elder Ezra Taft Benson, an apostle at the time, warned that communism and socialism were advancing in America not through invasion, but through the quiet erosion of constitutional principles. He called on Latter-day Saints to study the Constitution, heed prophetic warnings on freedom, and stand firm in its defense — even when unpopular.
