Description

Freemasonry is among the world s oldest fraternal organizations. This can be a society of men concerned with moral and religious values. Members are taught its precepts by a series of ritual dramas that follow ancient forms and employ the symbolism of stonemasonry. Assuming its present form in England all the way through the 18th century, Freemasonry came to The usa with the colonists, and Freemasons have played many roles in American history.
When the creator first inquired about the admission of African Americans to Masonic lodges, he was once told: They’ve their own lodges. He later learned that white Masons viewed black Masons not as separate but equal but as irregular and clandestine. On the other hand, he also learned that members of the predominantly black Prince Hall Masonic Grand Lodges have held their heads high and practiced the ancient mysteries for over two hundred years.
There is now light at the end of the tunnel. Since 1989, thirty-seven mainstream (white) Grand Lodges have extended fraternal recognition to their Prince Hall counterparts. It is our hope that we can eventually see the end of the contradiction of a color line in an organization dedicated to the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
