I think there has been an official prophetic statement on the Priesthood Ban.
"How can any man holding the Melchizedek Priesthood arrogantly assume that he is eligible for the priesthood whereas another who lives a righteous life but whose skin is of a different color is ineligible?"
Gordon B. Hinckley
I interpret this statement to acknowledge it was a wrong policy and it was based on the prejudices of man. I wish they would make a more direct statement, but I think this is still pretty straight forward.
