Rodric believes Moroni included special instruction for Modern times and wants to share his unique perspective the same way Moroni shared in The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

Below is his debut address to the world as a witness of Jesus Christ. He is not the first Black general authority, but he is the most recently called and the only one serving at present. When I saw him on television giving his address I felt great that that someone who looked like me was speaking in a general meeting of the church.
