Update, still in search of a lodge that will admit me. Weird reasoning from some, we've never had a black or we aren't Gate City #2 in Atlanta, they initiated, passed and raised a black man and it caused quite a stir. Interesting articles on the issue, but he is doing quite well looking at their website. Few have said its too soon. Others if I were to be raised I'd be a man with out a country in the south. Some have claimed to belong to a mixed church. Yet won't sit in lodge with some one based on skin color. Questioned as to why not join Prince hall, I've always been color blind. If that's my only option so be it. And yes Its their right not to admit blacks, but is it Masonic? My job allows me to visit and train in other states and countries some don't recognize Prince hall. Why not be welcomed to visit where ever I may travel? The 3rd lodge is split 50/50 but apparently it was rumored of my pursuit to join and quite a few members showed up for the next few meetings. But I've yet to submit a petition so not sure if it was a vote or general census. I was told to exercise patients and I'm doing so. I have really enjoyed this site and the great support of two brothers, whom ill forever be indebted to for their guidance. Prayerfully one day I can become family.
