ABOUT US
This
web site is dedicated to PM James Gaskins, 330 of East Gate
Lodge #44 F&AM. Brother Gaskins, now deceased, was the heart and
soul of Prince Hall Arms. As the original developer, he took the
concept and gave it life. Brother Gaskins kept the project
alive for many years when all but a few wanted to quit. Although
Brother Gaskins had a few detractors, he had many more
friends. He wasn't a perfect man but he was a good
man.
We
live in a time when freemasonry is struggling to prove it relevancy
in the minds of both current and potential members - the young Black
men who will replace the "gray hairs" of our fraternity.
If we are to survive, we must be more than a social club. WE
must do things. WE must build things. WE must serve the larger
community in very visible ways. This
web site was created to shed light. We can't let Prince
Hall Arms die. The people with the vision and energy to create
and support such projects should be recognized as true Masons.
WE are builders. This project is too important to the
Berkeley community. It's too important to East Gate
Lodge. It's too important to our Grand Lodge.
