Truth be told, there are black men that joined PHA GL'S because that is the only option they had other than joining a bogus masonic organization because the GL in that state refuses to admit black man. The GL of GA threatened to pull the charter of one of their subordinate lodges because they admitted a black man. As I referenced in a previous post. The reasoning, because they violated one of the Ancient Land Marks. What ancient landmark was violated by entering a black man ?
Remember, they are a sovereign grand lodge. Also, the man eventually became WM of that lodge. It is not easy to be the Jackie Robinson of anything but a true bridge builder does it for the ones that will follow him.
The Bridge Builder
BY WILL ALLEN DROMGOOLE
An old man going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
Through which was flowing a sullen tide
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting your strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way;
You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build this bridge at evening tide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head;
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followed after me to-day
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”
