Blacks have always been accepted as baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). However, with very few exceptions, black men were not ordained to the priesthood between about 1844 and 1978. (Those who were ordained prior to 1844 and their descendants were able to be ordained.) The Mormon church has always been very accepting of blacks and all other races. In fact, one reason they were kicked out of Missouri in the 1840's was their acceptance of blacks and their opposition to slavery.

When can Mormons start holding hands?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can hold hands with whomever they wish, whenever they wish. Mormons are advised to avoid dating until they are 16, and since hand-holding implies dating in many western cultures, most Mormons would probably avoid holding hands in a romantic way (i.e. on a date or with someone they are interested in dating) until they are at least 16.
