This week in Mormon Land: Finding ERA champion Sonia Johnson, the Romney effect on scholars, a missionary’s great escape

(AP file photo) Sonia Johnson is led away from a Latter-day Saint temple by a police officer after she had chained herself to the gate during a pro-Equal Rights Amendment demonstration in Bellevue, Wash., on Nov. 17, 1980. Johnson was excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after publicly speaking in favor of the ERA and criticizing church leaders.
