"On June 24th, 1976, the Missouri Governor Christopher S. Bond issues an executive order rescinding the 'Extermination Order', formally apologizing on behalf of the state of Missouri for the suffering it had caused the Latter Day Saints.""The order was originally named 'Missouri Executive Order 44' by Missouri governor Lilburn Boggs on October 27, 1838. The order was in response to what Boggs termed 'open and avowed defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the people of this State... the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peace—their outrages are beyond all description.'"
Oh, I chose the wrong picture.
