Essential The Big Thread of Black Excellence

[Sonic Boom of the South]

If Freemasonry for Black Americans began with Albert Pike, then tell me why the Prince Hall Lodge was founded in 1775....which was 34 years before the BIRTH of Pike, 65 years BEFORE he became a Mason and nearly 100 years before he published M&D?

@Geoffrey_Chaucer

You have no basis behind your argument about Albert Pike being influential in any way with Black American Freemasons. Where's your proof? Or are you going to keep resorting to your opinions with no proof behind it, childish name-calling & silly smilies?

Logically speaking, I don't see how you tie a Confederate General, who was a Mason - yes, to the increase of Blacks in Freemasonry. Even while noting that Black Masons then were free & most Blacks then were still bound by slavery and so they could not join.
