Dr. Cornel West on Prince Hall

[White Lion]

Dr. Cornel West sends a letter of support to the Brothers of Prince Hall Masonry, wherever dispersed around the globe. Dr. West is a highly respected lecturer and professor at his Alma-mater Princeton University. He can also be seen frequently on Bill Maher's HBO weekly special. Outspoken but usually on point as he continues to talk about the struggles for equality and justice. Please click on link below.

As a Past Master of this august body of men and women, I salute Dr. Cornel West and hope to some day meet him "upon the square". Kudos Bro. West

PM Mike, is Dr. West a "Brother"? The reason I'm asking is that after reading his letter of support I find him more so saluting the accomplishments of one man. I'm not knocking it but, I just don't see anything supporting the ongoing contributions of Masons today. I don't think anyone can debate what Prince Hall did for masonry. May I was looking for much more in Dr. West's letter.

No he is not P.M., he is however considered an expert in the field of African American studies and he is someone I hope finds his way to the order someday.

Okay. I was just trying to understand what his letter of support was about. Like I said, I'm not knocking it. I'd just like to see more publishing of the good that we do, especially from people who are not of the order. Take care.

I think you may have missed the point Larry. The letter of support was connected to a new memorial being erected up in Massachusetts.

Okay, I'm with it now.
