Alan Gerald Cherry[1] (born 1946 - died July 4, 2024) was one of the few African American converts to the the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) prior to the 1978 revelation allowing Black Mormon men to become priests.[2] From 1985-1989, he was director of Brigham Young University's African-American Oral History Project, and recorded interviews with over 200 African-Americans converts to Mormonism across the United States.[3][4][5]
