1930

Helvécio Martins (27 July 1930 – 14 May 2005) was the first person of Black African descent to be called as a general authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

1972

Born to descendants of African slaves in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Martins joined the LDS Church in 1972, despite his knowledge that the LDS Church did not then allow members of Black African descent to hold the priesthood or to receive temple ordinances.

1978

On 9 June 1978, Martins and his family heard of the announcement that the LDS Church was lifting the priesthood ban.

After Martins received the priesthood and his temple ordinances, he served in the church as a bishop, counselor to a stake president, and as president of the Brazil Fortaleza Mission.

1990

In April 1990, church president Ezra Taft Benson called Martins as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy.

Martins became the first black general authority in the LDS Church.

After serving a standard five-year term as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy, Martins was honorably released as a general authority on 30 September 1995.

He died in Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil at age 74.

Martins dictated his life story which was published as The Autobiography of Elder Helvecio Martins.

Martins' son, Marcus, is the chair of the religion department at Brigham Young University–Hawaii.
