Hello All,
I'll try to make this brief as possible and hope someone may have an answer or suggestion for me or at least set my nerves at ease. I have always been interested in the Masonry but did not know whom or how to find out more. I recently had my eyes opened to the process simply of course by asking a Mason. As a father, I would like to pave a better way for my children by examples of my own life and works, as I'll guess we all do. So far pretty simple right? Well here is where the dilema comes into place. Which path do I choose, GLofTX or MWPHGLoTX? In Texas, as well as most of the south, it seems there is so much emphases on race or color. I am a non black man, who is also the father of, for all color focused society purposes, a young black man. He will be 9 next month and it is an important part of my personal journey to insure a positive light for him as early as possible. For me personally I think I would feel most comfortable in MWPHGLoTX, however I do worry that I would not be accepted based on color. At the same time I may be readily accepted by the GLofTX but what happens when my son reaches his time of application?... Honestly I may be over thinking the whole situation, but any suggestions are welcome. Thank You
