Black Freemasonry: From Prince Hall to the Giants of Jazz - ISBN: 9781620554876
Cécile Révauger traces the history of black Freemasonry from the late 1700s through the 1960s. Black lodges were instrumental in helping American blacks transcend the horrors of slavery and prejudice, achieve higher social status, and create their own spiritually-based social structure, which in some cities arose prior to the establishment of black churches.
