Greg Matsen at CWIC Media dropped a video entitled "Cancelling David O McKay at BYU Hawaii."
https://youtu.be/_3uV3j22RA0
He gave voice to a few of the prominent people hoping to save and protect the David O McKay mural at the entrance of the McKay Complex at BYUH. These people feel a connection to that mural that many might feel to the Brigham Young "This is the Place" statue in UT. They feel this way for good reason.
LDS culture places a great deal of emphasis on the plight of the pioneers escaping persecution to build Zion on UT.
Some might not realize the shared heritage of the LDS. that of the several similar treks that have taken place throughout the years and in a multitude of countries and locations.
From Adam leaving Eden, to Abraham leaving the land of his fathers as well as Egypt, from the Jewish Exodus out of Egypt and Babylon, and so many others in scripture to the many treks and gatherings of today, maybe some still ongoing, we all share this identity.
As such we need to pray for the protection of this mosaic so the people there have something that they can point to with their children and grandchildren and pass on their own stories of ocean crossings, temple and church building, and sacrifice.
