Hello. I am an EA from John Sayles lodge. I am the first of my family (that I know of) to be an A.F. & A.M. I have an awesome coach and am excited about being apart of a brotherhood that teaches morality and selflessness. Unfortunately I have met other brothers from lodges not of TX that say they have experienced racism and only from TX Masons have they experienced it. I have not yet learned due examination but, they have provided lawful information; therefore, I believe them to be brothers. I have rewritten this a hundred times as not to break my obligation, but I'm concerned and am in need of reassurance. My coach is awesome but when I'm around him I can't bring myself to bring up such allegations. please bring from darkness to the light in D and A F.
