The Prince Hall Counsellor; A Manual of Guidance Designed to Aid Those Combatting Clandestine Freemasonry was prepared and published under the auspices of The Prince Hall Grand Masters' Conference. Past Grand Master George W. Crawford is the author and editor of this book. Prince Hall was the founder of Freemasonry among Negroes in America. He appeared before General George Washington in Cambridge along with several of the charter members of African Lodge. The object of the interview was to present a petition to General Washington for the enlistment of free blacks in the Patriot Army. The petition was granted, Negroes were allowed to serve in the army and eventually a charter was allowed to form the freemason organization.
