Descriptions:
On September 22nd, 1827, Joseph Smith retrieved the golden plates that were later translated into the Book of Mormon. There are many people outside of the LDS Church who wonder if Joseph Smith was the only person who saw the golden plates, considering his frequent concealing of the plates. Also, Kwaku mentions an episode in South Park stating something like, “Joseph Smith had the golden plates even though nobody else ever saw them,” which has further confused this notion of only Joseph seeing the golden plates. We know from the first few pages into the Book of Mormon that there were at least 11 witnesses to the golden plates, besides Joseph Smith.

Kwaku, David, and Mimi talk about a few of the men who were able to see the golden plates and who never denied their testimonies, even after falling away from the Mormon Church.
