Today's Black History Month:
Prince Hall True Resolution Lodge #16, is the oldest Black Men’s Organisation in British Columbia, Celebrating 103 years, September 29, 2022.

Prince Hall was born (circa) 1748, in Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies Prince Hall was born free. His father, Thomas Prince Hall, was a white Englishman, and his mother a free Black French woman. In 1765, at the age of 17, he worked his passage on a ship to Boston, where he was a leather-worker, a trade learned from his father.
He was a Black preacher, administrator, mason, and businessman.
On March 6, 1775, Prince Hall and fourteen other free Negroes of Boston were made Master Masons in an Army lodge attached to one of General Gage's regiments, then stationed near Boston. This lodge granted Prince Hall and his brethren authority to meet as a lodge, to go in procession on St John's Day, and as a lodge to bury their dead, but they could not confer degrees nor perform any other Masonic ‘work'. Hall was the founder of the African Lodge of the Honorable Society of Free and Accepted Masons of Boston. This was the world's first lodge of black Freemasonry and the first society in American history devoted to social, political, and economic improvement.
