Prince Hall Freemasonry

Prince Hall Freemasonry is a historically African American branch of Freemasonry founded in the late 18th century by Prince Hall and other Black men seeking fellowship and mutual support amidst racial discrimination. It emphasizes moral development, community service, and brotherhood through symbolic rituals and traditions, similar to mainstream Freemasonry. Although it shares core principles with other Masonic lodges, Prince Hall Masonry has its own organizational structures and historic significance as a space for African Americans to foster leadership and unity during periods of racial segregation.
