This book was released on 2015-06-14 with total page 751 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin of Masonry, State of New Jersey, and the Entire Proceedings of the Grand Lodge: First Organization, A. L. 5786 The undersigned long had it in contemplation to preserve and give to the Craft the History of Masonry in New Jersey, and to print the transactions recorded from the organization of the Grand Lodge, in 1786, to this time. There being but one copy of the first fifty years, and that in manuscript, we should be remiss in our duty not to take the means to preserve the records of the past, and inform ourselves of what has transpired within that period. Upon my coming into their possession in 1842, upon the decease of our lamented Grand Secretary, Brother John Mershon, I took this old minute book to a fire-proof vault for its better security, where it has been for several years, and having made some preliminary arrangements, collected what information of an authentic nature could be collected, leave was obtained to print the minutes at the last Communication, to wit: "The Grand Secretary asked leave to print the Minutes of the Grand Lodge from its commencement, in 1786, together with the History of Masonry in this State anterior thereto, at his expense, which was, on motion, granted." The Historical part of this volume has been kindly written by Past Grand Master William Silas Whitehead, to whom the Craft, and more especially myself, are under deep and lasting obligations for his zeal and labor employed in its compilation. The publication has been gotten up with but one idea, that is, its preservation, and not with a view of reaping any pecuniary reward for the labor bestowed, and will be disposed of at cost; all the publisher expects will be a return of his actual outlay, from the liberal and intelligent Masons of the State of New Jersey.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official History of Freemasonry Among the Colored People in North America: Tracing the Growth of Masonry From 1717 Down to the Present Day, Bringing to Light Many Interesting Facts Unknown to the Great Body of the Craft Every fair minded reader will see at a glance that the origin and practice of Freemasonry among colored men in the United States, came direct from the Mother Grand Lodge of the world, London, England, in 1784. This is substantiated by the original charters, old records of lodges, and the manuscripts of old masons in the United States This disposes, at once, of our detractors' bill of complaint for want of truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of black Freemasonry from Boston and Philadelphia in the late 1700s through the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement • Examines the letters of Prince Hall, legendary founder of the first black lodge • Reveals how many of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century were also Masons, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Nat King Cole • Explores the origins of the Civil Rights Movement within black Freemasonry and the roles played by Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois When the first Masonic lodges opened in Paris in the early 18th century their membership included traders, merchants, musketeers, clergymen, and women--both white and black. This was not the case in the United States where black Freemasons were not eligible for membership in existing lodges. For this reason the first official charter for an exclusively black lodge--the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts--was granted by the Grand Lodge of England rather than any American chapter. Through privileged access to archives kept by Grand Lodges, Masonic libraries, and museums in both the United States and Europe, respected Freemasonry historian Cécile Révauger traces the history of black Freemasonry from Boston and Philadelphia in the late 1700s through the Abolition Movement and the Civil War to the genesis of the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1900s up through the 1960s. She opens with a look at Prince Hall, legendary founder and the chosen namesake when black American lodges changed from “African Lodges” to “Prince Hall Lodges” in the early 1800s. She reveals how the Masonic principles of mutual aid and charity were more heavily emphasized in the black lodges and especially during the reconstruction period following the Civil War. She explores the origins of the Civil Rights Movement within black Freemasonry and the roles played by Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois, founder of the NAACP, among others. Looking at the deep connections between jazz and Freemasonry, the author reveals how many of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century were also Masons, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Eubie Blake, Cab Calloway, and Paul Robeson. Unveiling the deeply social role at the heart of black Freemasonry, Révauger shows how the black lodges were instrumental in helping American blacks transcend the horrors of slavery and prejudice, achieve higher social status, and create their own solid spiritually based social structure, which in some cities arose prior to the establishment of black churches.
