I again take my seat at the table
and wish to enjoy a pen-chat with my
brother scribes and continue oui
studies on the subject of Masonry
among the Negroes of the United
States. Being under obligations to
Bro. Harry Williamson of New York
Grand Lodge (Prince Hall) fron
whose writings we have quoted si
eeiy, we the; ofore continue to usi
his data so logically presented.
“The writer ventures to make tlu
statement that Bro. Upton and tht
colored Masonic authorities previous!'
mentioned have answered to complete
satisfaction all the foregoing objec
tions, and in connection with objec
tion 6. relates some very interesting
and important history concerning hi.
own Grand Lodge.”
Previously mention has been mad'?
ih:.t Prince Hall Grand Lodge estab
i'shed four lodges’in New York City
In 1845 these lodges withdrew frm.
the jurisdiction of Massachusetts am
formed the “Boyer Grand Lodge o;
New York.” About 1848, dissension
arose relative to the formation of :
National Grand L,odce and those win
favored the proposition withdrew from
the “Boyer” organization and forme
an independent Grand Lodge unde;
the jurisdiction of the National Gram
lodge of North America. In the faP
of 1848 the members of the origina
Grand Lodge (Boyer) reorganize!
under the title of the “United Grant
Lodge of New York,” which hod'
continued in active operation unti’
1877, when the dissenters withdrew
from the national body, begged for
giveness and were teceiped back int
the original fold with open aims am
great rejoicing, upon practically tht
same grounds as those given at tht
reunion of the rival white Grant'
Lodges of New York, some sixty-odi
years and more ago.
As previously stated, Negro Me
sonry or Freemasonry among Negroe
has been the source of considerabb
unpleasantness among the whitt
Giar.d Lodges of America. Some fif
teen or more vears ago when th<
Grand Lodge of the state of Wash
ington declared it to be the sense o
that body that men who had beer
initiated into Negro lodges were reg
ularly made Masons, all the othei
white Grand Lodges raised a great
protest, and many of thpm immedi
ately severed their fraternal rela
tions with the said state. It there
foi-e devolved unon that jurisdietior
to give satisfactory reasons for hav
ing the courage to assume a true and
brotherly attitude toward the black
f brethren. Consequently Bro. Uptoi
ard two others were appointed a com.
mittee for that purpose. This brother
"ith his associates, ably and to the
'’onfusion of Washington’s critics
uccessfully answered every objection
offered; and to this day, after the
lapse of years, the answers of thr
Grand Lodge of Washington remain
uncontrovertible and unshaken. AfP
1 *> number of years the dissenting
Grand Lodges came creeping back
one bv one, each craving for a re
sumption of the friendly* intercourse
i - j hastily severed.
For about forty-odd yeaiA the white
Grand Lodge of New Jersey has had
upon its roster a lodge which at oni
♦■me consisted of white and colored
members.
I regret that my limited time at
this writing will not permit my going
further into this, to us, very interest
ing line of research. However, wt
will resume at a later date. So wi
ay, “until we meet again.”
The scribe.
