This is a general question, a query as to a fact. Please do not turn it into a debate about Masonry and please don’t post a rant against Masonry here.
Question
I know of the organizations sponsored by the Blue Lodges (such as Rainbow Girls, DeMolay, Job’s Daughters, Eastern Star, etc.) and I know of the Prince Hall lodges. What I would like to know is what organizations do the Prince Hall lodges sponsor? What organizations do they sponsor for youth? If you can, please post website links to a representative organization. Thanks.
I’ve been told that Prince Hall masons have groups that roughly parallel the Shriners.
In the US, the blue lodges in most states formally recognize the Prince Hall lodges and their members as regular masons. This reverses about 200 years of referring to the Prince Hall lodges as “clandestine” and separate. This new-found unity between the black and white lodges is going slowly, according to a state-level (grand lodge) officer.
I was a blue-lodge mason until this year. Although I have demitted, I have no quarrel with masonry.
The Prince Hall Grand Lodge of California seems to support a chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. They also seem to be affiliated with the Shrine, the Daughters of Isis and other auxilliary groups:
