Gobo Fango

Gobo Fango (ca. 1855 – 1886) was a South African Xhosa who emigrated to the United States with a white Latter-day Saint family in 1861. While he never joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), he was one of the most prominent people of African descent in nineteenth-century Utah. He was murdered in a confrontation with white cowboys in Idaho in 1886.
