SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
Prince Hall Freemasonry is the oldest recognized and continuously active organization founded by African Americans. Prince Hall Freemasonry began on March 6, 1775, when Prince Hall, an abolitionist and civil rights activist, along with fourteen other free men of color, were initiated into freemasonry. These men later organized African Lodge No. 1 on July 3, 1775, which later became African Lodge No. 459 on September 29, 1784. This organization laid the foundation for African American citizenship, education, and for the improvement of the condition of Blacks in America. In 1847, out of respect for its first Grand Master, Prince Hall, the African Grand Lodge changed its name to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, the name it carries today.
