A couple of questions:

-Does the Grand Lodge of Mass have communications and fraternal relations with Prince Hall Masonry?

-If so, in which state(s)?

-Can a Mass mason visit a Prince Hall lodge, and can Prince Hall Masons visit Mass lodges?

Thanks! 

Hi, Charles ---

I can answer most of the questions posed here...hopefully someone who knows the answer to those questions will be able to correct my answer, if I am mistaken.

The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts does, in fact, have fraternal relations with Prince Hall Masonry.  In fact the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Prince Hall Masonry in Massachusetts is a regular guest of the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts during the Grand Lodge Quarterly meetings. and installations at Grand Lodge.

I believe The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts recognizes Prince Hall Masonry in every state that the A. F. & A. M. Grand Lodge recognizes Prince Hall Masonry.  So for example, the Grand Lodge recognizes Prince Hall Masonry in Massachusetts, but not in Texas, if I am not mistaken.

A Massachusetts Mason can visit a Prince Hall Lodge, so long as that Prince Hall Lodge is in a jurisdiction which the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts recognizes. 

I hope this helps (and I hope all my information was accurate!)

What is Prince Hall Masonry and why are there conflicts?

I am a petitioning member of a PHA lodge in Kansas.  I have been in contact with a couple of brothers (my cousin and his lodge brothers).  I am looking for more information on Prince Hall Masonry.  Are there any additional reference tools that can be recomended for research? 

Thanks for providing such an open forum.  I greatly appreciate it.
