BHBC The Crew Edition: The Masons - Day 4
Day 4: The Masons
The most powerful Black men in America. Then and now.
Did you know that Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Duke Ellington, Medgar Evers, Paul Robeson, Nelson Mandela, Louis Farrakhan, and both Martin Luther King Jr.’s father and grandfather were all Prince Hall Freemasons?
And these are just the names that are on record.
Academics believe that everything we know today about Black American history has been influenced by the Black Freemasonry organization. Many people call them the unseen hand of Black America. The backbone of our progress.
There wouldn’t be a civil rights movement without Freemasonry. They have been behind nearly every pivotal move we’ve made as a people and yet, most of us know nothing about them. Until today!
