Download or read book Prince Hall Freemasonry in the Lone Star State written by Robert Uzzel and published by . This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freemasonry is one of the world?s oldest fraternal organizations. It is a society of men concerned with moral and spiritual 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 during the 18th century, Freemasonry came to America with the colonists, and Freemasons have played many roles in American history.When the author first inquired about the admission of African Americans to Masonic lodges, he was told: ?They have their own lodges.? He later learned that white Masons viewed black Masons not as ?separate but equal? but as ?irregular and clandestine.? Nevertheless, 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 will 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.

Download or read book History of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ohio F AM 1971 2011 written by David Gray and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-11 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ohio F&AM (1971-2011): The Fabric of Freemasonry is the fifth official installment on the history of this Grand Lodge. Although title denotes a specific scope of 1971 to 2011', the author David L. Gray begins this work as he began his last in 'Inside Prince Hall', by examining the early history of Prince Hall Freemasonry and Prince Hall the man before he enters into giving a historical sketch of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ohio from 1849 to 1970.Unique historical insights in this book include a long needed correction of Harold Van Buren Voorhis' assertion that in 1813 members of Hiram Lodge No. 3 of Rhode Island set sail for Liberia. In addition this book includes new information on the likely birth place of Prince Hall.Writing during a post-Civil Rights and post-Segregation period, the author gradually moves away from the racial tension that Charles H. Wesley found, in the last history book of this Grand Lodge, was most on the minds of Blacks. Gray finds that other social ills weighed heavier (as demonstrated in the allocutions of the Grand Masters) on the minds of the craft. Another theme new to this history is the emphasis on financial progress in the Grand Lodge, which was not a central focus of pre-Integration administrations. Concerning the title, a 'fabric' is the material that a seamstress makes things out of. In the instant case, Prince Hall Freemasonry in Ohio is what Freemasonry is made of - what it's all about. That is to say that, she is the Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother of nearly every Prince Hall Grand Lodge to the north, west, and south of it, and she is a bright example of Masonic leadership and conservatorship throughout the world. She is the Fabric of Freemasonry. Every stitch in a garment may not be flawless, but when it all comes together it works perfectly and serves its created purpose. That's the story and the history of Prince Hall Freemasonry in Ohio.Inclusive, Well-documented, Well-written, and full of interesting intersects that the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ohio had with society and other Grand Lodges; this book is must have for all students of Black American history, Masonic history, Ohio history, and fraternal history.

Download or read book A History of Fort Worth in Black White written by Richard F. Selcer and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Fort Worth in Black & White fills a long-empty niche on the Fort Worth bookshelf: a scholarly history of the city's black community that starts at the beginning with Ripley Arnold and the early settlers, and comes down to today with our current battles over education, housing, and representation in city affairs. The book's sidebars on some noted and some not-so-noted African Americans make it appealing as a school text as well as a book for the general reader. Using a wealth of primary sources, Richard Selcer dispels several enduring myths, for instance the mistaken belief that Camp Bowie trained only white soldiers, and the spurious claim that Fort Worth managed to avoid the racial violence that plagued other American cities in the twentieth century. Selcer arrives at some surprisingly frank conclusions that will challenge current politically correct notions.

Download or read book Prince Hall Freemasonry written by Warrior Hawk and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF PRINCE HALL FREEMASONRY... An aura of mystery surrounds the Masonic tradition Prince Hall founded. Part of this aura comes from the false perception, held even by many fellow Masons, that Prince Hall Freemasonry is different from "normal" Masonry, with special rites and ceremonies and a different set of core beliefs than those held by other Freemasons. And there is also the aura of mystery that surrounds Prince Hall himself. Although Hall is widely recognized as the father of Black Masonry in the United States, few records pertaining to his life have been found. In Prince Hall Freemasonry: The Secret Within, the author attempts to dispel the perception that Freemasonry is a secret, mysterious group. The book not only reveals the history of Prince Hall masonry but is a comprehensive guide and teaching tool for Masonic schools-offering a fascinating look into an organization often perceived as taboo to outsiders.
