I believe you are missing my point. Please do not assist those who do not understand what we stand for, continue to slander our good fortune by supposing the separation is due to the color of our skin.
May I suggest a book, that could have been named a little better and is perhaps a bit outdated, that was published in 1982 and distributed by The Missouri Lodge of Research.
Titled: A DOCUMENTARY ACCOUNT OF PRINCE HALL AND OTHER BLACK FRATERNAL ORDERS
Again, I do not necessarily agree with the title, but I do agree with many of the comments contained in the book such as the ones noted below, and I believe it will offer some assistance to our brethren who choose to gain a better understanding.
"Masonry knows no distinction of race or color. It is the mental, moral, and physical qualifications of the man that are to be considered."
"There is ONLY ONE Freemasonry, the regular organization of men associating under his name."
"Most Freemasons look upon this subject as a "curiosity" and have heard or read so much misinformation about it that they shy away from the subject."
I know and love many brothers of both orders and look forward to the day we can all join in fellowship together; it is long over due!
