MEN OF MARK
PRINCE HALL FREEMASONS IN AMERICA
THE 100 + MOST INFLUENTIAL
From the marbled corridors of Capitol Hill to the executive suites of
corporate America to the boardrooms of community based organizations, Prince
Hall Freemasons are playing a major role in shaping national policy. With
passionate and powerful voice they are articulating the needs and desires of
African-Americans in every stratum of American life.[1]
The Phylaxis Society had requested photographs of all of the Leadership
within Prince Hall Freemasonry, many was not received. However,
irregardless if the photographs were used or not, we have listed the names
of those Men of Mark in Prince Hall Freemasonry in America. There are many
Prince Hall Freemasons whose names should be included in this listing, for
instance we know that many of the Mayors across the nation are Prince Hall
Freemasons, therefore, we ask our members to furnish the Society with those
names. The names can be sent to The Phylaxis Society, Public Affairs
Office, Post Office Box 2232; Kansas City, MO. 64142.
