Prince Hall

The Prince Hall Masonic Lodge in Atlanta, GA, is more than just a building; it is a symbol of African American resilience, empowerment, and the pursuit of knowledge. Founded by Prince Hall, an abolitionist and leader, the lodge has served as a gathering place for those dedicated to the upliftment of their community through education and mutual support.

The lodge's walls have witnessed the footsteps of many great leaders, including:

• The nation’s first black owned radio station, WERD

• The Southern Christian Leadership Conference led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who found inspiration and solidarity within its halls during the Civil Rights Movement

• and Madam C.J. Walker, the first female self-made millionaire in America, who utilized the lodge for her franchise beauty school.

Their involvement with the lodge underscores its role as a center for personal growth, advocacy, and purposeful living.
