Who Was Prince Hall? An Introduction To An Extraordinary Man

Manuel R. Pires, Chairman of African Lodge No. 459, Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, introduces Prince Hall as an historical figure, with an emphasis on his achievements and contributions.

Hall was an abolitionist and leader in the free black community in Boston. He founded Prince Hall Freemasonry and lobbied for education rights for African American children. Pires makes the case that Prince Hall is an unsung Patriot and forgotten Founding Father who should receive his long overdue recognition.

This talk is part of the 2021 Lowell Lecture Series presented by the Paul Revere Memorial Association. This biographical series highlights three influential individuals with (Boston) North End connections: Thomas Hutchinson, Prince Hall, and Pauline Agassiz Shaw.
