Masons attempt desegregation

Did you know that in the South, many of the Masons are still segregated? So it is in 12 states. They are officially brothers in most states, but not all lodges provide "mutual recognition" to members of a different color lodge... And often times, it's the black lodges that refuse to consider the white lodges as brethren! It's not just in the South, either. Just last month, the Masons in Delaware finally got around to ending a 150 year tradition of segregation by signing a compact of recognition. The North only started to recognize black Masons slowly after Connecticut started the trend in 1989. See Chick's GOOD OL' BOYS.
