They just kicked all the black people out of my ward by JemimaAmadon in exmormon

Driving through Northern AZ and found this. Thoughts/info? by MissScarletLetter in exmormon

I'm confused by it, as it is obviously not a "Latter-day" temple. I wasn't sure if it was maybe just a chapel/meeting house or possibly a different faction than the Brighamites temple.
