Hi, I am watching from England. I am a Mason. Because Prince Hall received the warrant to form Africa Lodge from the Grand Lodge of Ireland, all Prince Hall lodges are regarded by us (British Masons under the United Grand Lodge of England) as regular and in amity. If I were to visit the States, I am permitted by my lodge to visit any Prince Hall lodge I am invited to and vice versa. So, greetings to all my American brethren!!
A Zimbabwean Freemason who is presumably a member of an English Lodge commenting on an African American Freemason who was a member of an Irish Lodge being sent warm Fraternal greetings from Australia- now that's Brotherly :)
It's a pity Bro Prince had to go his own way due to unmasonic racism - but he founded a Proud Tradition in doing so.
Greetings to all from Australia !
It was UGLE that sent the warrant. The word 'Irish' had to do with the lodge he and the 14 others were said to be initiated, passed and raised,
SMIB
I have spoken to an American Mason (WM) at an Open House (I had no sponsor).
It does not seem like they put much thought towards the (PH) masons....why?
@@MrOppy678 there are some states who do not recognize PH masonry. It’s a weird vestigial racism thing. Most grand lodges in the states view the few who hold out as backward and regressive.
The vast majority of grand lodges in the US recognize and welcome PH masons with reverence; they are absolutely waaaay more crisp with ritual than garden variety masonry!
It’s also true that many PH masons are plural members of regular lodges too.
The divide, at least in the perception of those I have spoken with, seems to come from the simple fact that a brother vouches for a candidate. And that usually means that they know one another beforehand.
Many large American cities were effectively segregated and the effects of that have persisted more or less. People of any given racial and cultural background tend to still live near each other and thus they are more likely to be in close contact regularly. So, you sponsor someone you know and have things in common with. So, you end up with lodges that are predominantly of a culture. The cycle perpetuates itself.
Blessings to you! And great job highlighting Prince Hall. From North Star Lodge #1, MWPHGL of IL.
Thank you for highlighting the Prince Hall Memorial inCambridge, MA. I proudly worked on that committee 10 years ago. A lot of Prince Hall Masons don't even know it exists.
Thank you so much for your work on the memorial in Cambridge!! I love spending time there and reflecting on Prince Hall's legacy
What is freemasony with big eyes like that , what is that??explain to me please ? think you are sleeping and big eyes stare you like that, very scary stufff.
How to be a remember of prine hall mason
I'm in South Carolina, however as a musician I've performed there as a bandleader and saxophonist many times, my uncles and God parents were members ( Free Masons there ) this is such great information, thank you....I love seeing those old sights...
Many of the big big names in jazz were masons. Many lodges also hosted the shows that other places did not allow. Dig the surface you’ll see jazz roots and Masonic roots are connected
This is definitely a black gem. Thank you for the excellent video. So well done. I cant wait to see what other videos you have. Subscribed.
I’ve lived in Massachusetts all my life and didn’t know about this. Many thanks and keep the videos coming. 👍
Freemasonry is Satanism.
Jazz Thank you for this content. Not just this video, but the others as well. You seem to be a respectful lovely lady, i appreciate you
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you're enjoying the content.
This Beautiful Sister scholarship of this Great Black Ancestor was nothing short of Excellent Princ Hall set the stage for Black Fraternities and Sororities concerning service toward Black's, and if we as a race of people would get back to his precepts, beliefs, and teachings as whole we would be better off as a people.
Great work Beautiful Queen keep up the good work.
I’d rather follow Jesus’ teachings, masons only look out for masons
@@eyeswideopen3494 one has nothing to do with the other
@@Lord3sixty uhm seeing that prince hall was a devil worshiper I’d say they do together
@@Lord3sixty the Catholic Church actually forbids Catholics from being masons, I wonder why that is.

Great information sister, an outstanding job.
As SD in Pima Lodge #10 Tucson AZ of MWPHGLAZ. I will be showing this to new Brothers and all interested in the Fraternity. Thanks for the good work.

Love this, great job. I couldnt stop a smile when she told us that there were no photos of Prince Hall. Not many cameras around in the 1770 s
🤣🤣 I suppose it should be obvious there were no cameras in the 1700s...but some folks have no concept of time so I said it anyway lol
Thanks for the presentation. Great job!
Excellent job!
Wow! A lady with knowledge.
Thank you for this wonderful video
My step-father was a Prince Hall Mason. He spoke highly of him. He also told me about the mistreatment of black people that goes on among Masons.
Sadly it's true in some jurisdictions :/ but to me a brother is a brother prince hall or non prince hall I love my brothers from all walks of life /G\
Of course. Freemasons were behind slavery and the civil war. What do you expect from devil worshippers? The Lightbearer is Lucifer. Kabbalah is black magic.

Awesome video; fact packed!
Well done young lady, well done indeed...
I love this video! What a lot of folks may not know is PHA lodges have Brothers of all Races and Cultures. Black, White, Latino, Filipino, Asian, and all over!
Yea but can a black man be part of Scottish rite lodges?
@@eyeswideopen3494 Yes
@@BlurredUniverse357 oh that's pretty dope, there is a Scottish Rite lodge right near where I live and I've only seen like white people ever come and go there
@@eyeswideopen3494 Could be a non PHA Scottish Rite lodge, where the majority of the members are white.
There are a few requirements to become a Scottish Rite member.
@@BlurredUniverse357 makes sense, I’ve never been into joining any type of group but I know a couple of PH Freemasons and they seem to love it. I did meet an older gentleman who said it conflicted with his religion so he chose to get out of it.
Great video thank you
Love this video, any information that can be spread about the this dude and the organization put forth is pure gold- in my neighborhood theres a chapter but the young kids for the most part seem to think it was all slavery only to blacks then freedom that happened yesterday when they were born without seeing the bigger picture or the fact that whites and blacks worked together to return their birthright as free men- God Bless you woman
Well as we can see when heathens becomes freeman they inslave the whole world in darkness

My great great grandfather wrote the book slave in free masonry
nice!
I’d like a copy
AFAM here, and let me just say that this presentation was excellent.
Though it is tragic the older brethren are slowly dying off, a silver lining is that they are taking a lot of the old prejudices with them (AFAM and PH alike). I firmly believe that it will be Masons who play the pivotal role in restoring harmony to our beautiful country, and I believe that it is every Mason’s sworn duty to try his best to facilitate the rational discourse, compassion, and understanding that we will need to reach and then sustain that harmony.
Always good to see women taking an active role in teaching about Masonic history, no matter what ‘branch’ of Masonry (which doesn’t matter all that much to the younger generation) they were raised in. You’ve earned my subscription, and keep up the great work!
I'm so impressed with the history you have displayed on your videos. I will watch all of them. Wow!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
@@BlackGemsUnearthed I do. I've always been fascinated with black history, especially in my home town of Boston ( SouthEnd). Is there history of black people living in Charlestown?
@@mr.mauriceevansjones that's cool you're from the SouthEnd, plenty of Black history over there! For Charlestown, there was a Black solider-- Salem Poor-- at the Battle of Bunker Hill. I also recall NPS + BPL holding a talk about the Charlestown navy yard around WW2-- I feel like it was recorded, but I can't find it. I did find this article though www.nps.gov/articles/great-migration-to-charlestown-navy-yard.htm

Great insight
✅Great Work!
Thank you for this presentation. I hail from the MWPHGLVA. /G\
Great job my sister.
Prince hall cemetery is his own. He is in best words a legend in freemasonry. Very respected. There is alot dedicated to him. If he was alive today i dont know how he'd handle everything thats dedicated to him worldwide. Im a fellow Bostonian in the midwest. That man made his mark he is a brother. Im white/ native american btw but he was a mason. We have nothing but respect for that man.
Very good this a nice constructive positive educational presentation. Shoutout jazz much luv to mass.
(Not a typo) for anyone learning English grammar rules and language.
Is does like the as.
I AM A PRINCE HALL MASON. I HAVE BEEN SINCE 1999
Yes indeed he was great I'm from diamond 299 pha Lodge in Memphis tn
Absolutely awesome! Great video!!
THIS IS AMAING INFO
Thank you!
Wow! It’s amazing that although I have seen his name, I never knew how important this man, Prince Hall, truly is.
Nice 👍 I liked her presentation and it was good to know not all masons are bad education and the fight for freedom is a must.
I am a Eastetn star of prince hall
Albert Pike was a "freemason" also.... do the math.
🎯
What is "math"? Speculation?
"I took my obligations from white men, not from negroes. When I have to accept negroes as brothers or leave masonry, I shall leave it." - Albert Pike
Okay.... and Judas was a Christian and disciple as well so what's your point?
I just found your video; my gratitude. I didn't hear you mention who signed the charter.. H. R. H. The Duke of Cumberland-kin to King George III. I also found it interesting that Nero Prince and his wife Nancy Gardner Prince would move to Russia where they worked and lived under the Tsar. Fascinating also that the brothers in Phily who reached out to Prince Hall were already Freemasons.
Thanks for dropping some additional gems! I didn't know about Nero Prince!
Thank you!

My son's ancestor is from MA an African American who sailed to the UK in the 19th Century, he was born around 1847 in Boston, MA. I've been doing some research and possibly his parents were from Salem? They were the Miles family called Thomas Miles and Eliza Miles. Thomas Miles Jr, their son settled in a rural Wales, UK and spoke Welsh.

Shame on you to treat lucifarianisim like is it's causal and non threatening and not a big deal, it is a big deal, it's evil and it's wrong it's a road to hell
Why is the lodge advertising like a store front
Yep masonry is everywhere,even Russia has its lodge.
Prince Hall Masons are recognized by the MW Grand Lodge of Washington State. I had the delightful experience of sitting in Olympia Lodge #1, the first Masonic Lodge chartered even before Washington became a state, with my brother Prince Hall masons.
My memory is that I read that the Charter for African Lodge 459, later changed to African Lodge #1, was delivered from England to Prince Hall by the brother in law of Alexander Hamilton, which tells us that Prince Hall had connections with influential members, and Masons of the period.
There is a general thought that 8 or 9 of the signers of the Declaration were Masons, but more current research indicates that number to be 21 or 22 of the 56 men who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the birth of a new nation. I suspect that number, as we continue to learn more, to continue to grow.
My grand mothers slave ancestor was one of the English signees,William moody,my grand mother was also in the lodge,she past away 31st may 2020 in Jamaica,r.I.e.p.🙏🏾❤️
Happy founder day to all pha

I don't have a comment I have a question, is it true that Prince hall was born in Barbados in the West Indies?
i have heard numerous times he was born in BARBADOS!
I have heard this too. There seems to be a lot of debate about where he was originally from, which is why I did not get into it
@@BlackGemsUnearthed one thing i know for sure MY ISLAND OF BARBADOS has sooooo much history that is intertwined with AMERICAN HISTORY ,people wouldn't think an island so small would.

Greetings from Frederick T. Hicks Lodge # 117 Maryland Jurisdiction (PHA) - Frankfort Germany
When the Irish left Boston. Prince Hall did not have a charter.they were only permitted to March on St John's day and connduct Masonic funerals. He had to petition the grand lodge of England for a charter.
Do some research on the "Odd Fellows" a freemason branch in the 1870-early 1900 who had a black branch which ran black orphanages as part of the reset.
No mention of the prince hall masons but they had to be involved
☝🏾
I would like to be a member
I don't believe in ANY fraternal orders that have secret origins or practices.
They just started changing it around 1989 Connecticut hand picking a honorary member maybe but they usually have a Shrine and We have lower less fortunate Shrine.Shes a woman and they are probably treated different as well.She would be A Eastern Star or something.
All praise be to Allah. and that is a Blessing.
Prince Hall Mason isn't a secret society but Society with secrets- (SMIB Brethren)
Prince Hall is a great story of lies, deceit, focus, and determination. Lies and deceit weren't Prince Hall's doing, but he spent his life legitimizing Africa lodge, 11 min does him no justice but there are discussion panels and podcasts all over the internet chronicling his story. Great black man.
What is freemasony with big eyes like that , what is that??explain to me please ? think you are sleeping and big eyes stare you like that, very very scary stufff.
Might aswell join Temple of Set
hmmm...that was your takeaway? The Black Free Masons are part of a legacy of Blacks folks organizing to improve conditions for their community. I can't say I see the comparison.
Was prince hall not born in Barbados
Wow didn't know Richard Pryor was a Mason
Yea a lot of people can’t stand on their own so they join Frats and what not hoping for an advantage while us real black men stand on our own till the death, I wonder when your fellow brother died if any mason jumped in the casket with him? Doubt it, you’re born alone and you die alone
You did not mentioned he came from Barbados..

Yall need to be Raising Young Brothers up. Too many youth out here dying with no guidance.
Most don't even know they are seeking light because their Father's are not present in the home via the destruction of the family, so how and when do brothers get a chance to be upright?
Especially if they don't know their fathers or fathers father.
You Brothers need to reconsider some of your strictest guidelines in regards to our people that want and need light.
Bunch of cowards
They don’t do nothing but worship Satan and screw married Women
@@randyodom3396 who are the cowards you're referring to
Are you a brother and what are you doing for the youth just asking. We do not recruit you have to want and ask and we have organizations for young men.
@@charlesjones5631 ; Firstly, Peace.
Secondly, I built a school of higher learning for the youth. I said nothing of Recruiting or Recruitment.
And No, I am not Part of your Fraternal Order or Any Church, Synagogue, Mosque, or Temple.

I'm not talking down on you dudes, if you read my words I'm telling My People we need to Save Ourselves and our Children from the Conditions we are in.
Aint no secret.
I am not sure if you will read this comment however, I would ask if you could research the identity and history of Blacks “scattered” throughout the diaspora. I have watched several videos suggesting that blacks in the Americas and Caribbean are actually the scattered tribes of Israel. Any help in this research would be forever appreciated 🙏🏾
I know this is about Prince Hall but what kind of man did she say Crippuss Attucks was, sounded like an Aboriginal American Indian man to me...do we need to get Dane Calloway on the phone just so he can reiterate the points that he be trying to make
Hi! I said he Crispus was Wampanoag & Black. This is a pretty good article from Indian Country Today about him indiancountrytoday.com/archive/crispus-attucks-black-native-shared-narrative-changed-world
Until around 2003 the white branch of Free Masons did not officially recognize Prince Hall. What a shame?
Hi I want to join Freemasonry
I'm sure you can find a lodge near you if you Google it!
I AM THE HIDDEN ONE!!!
NUN ATUM RA PTAH HORUS...
Love the Man , Hate the Sin.
even still albert pike didnt recognized them as masons ..
It didn’t matter what pike thought (by the way he changed his tone later on) but PH masonry is the only faction of masonry in America with its original charter.
We don’t know how he look yet he was a “black” mason
We know he was Black
