Recognizing Prince Hall

by Dan Weatherington, Ric Carter (Introduction)

"Masonry regards no man for his worldly wealth or possessions. It is the internal, and not the external qualifications of a man that should recommend him to be made a Mason."Every Mason swears to this teaching, but for almost three hundred years it was far from true. Recognizing Prince Hall follows the efforts of North Carolina Masons whose greatest desire was to bring truth and honor to their organization by viewing all Masons, regardless of race, as brothers.

Fascinating

The fact that the ideal of universal
brotherhood can be tainted by something as base as racism is the saddest thing. Recognising Prince Hall is both a hopeful book and a celebration of compromise and common sense.

Pretty quick read, highlighting some of the issues leading up to the Grand Lodge of North Carolina recognizing its Prince Hall counterpart. As a Prince Hall Mason it is pretty much what I expected to hear and read as to why it is seems like such a battle in the South to get "mainstream" Masons to recognize their Prince Hall Affiliated counterpart.

Riveting!

This book captivated me from page 1. As a Prince Hall Freemason, the journey it took to recognize my brothers is emotionally moving. The harsh, but real language in this book made me feel as though I were part of the conversations & meetings. Tough to hear it…even tougher to live it! So mote it be!
