This work sheds new light on the elevation of African Americans to
the highest political offices of the land. The election of the
Honorable President Barack H. Obama to the Office of the President
of the United States of America was accomplished on a road paved by
the blood, sweat and tears of many African Americans including John
Jones, Oscar De Priest and several others. The stances taken by
these leaders were forged from the historic struggles of race
relations in America. It was their common belief in the American
Dream and efforts to secure their share of that dream that led to
the rise of African Americans in the political arena. The labors of
these leaders created a legacy which extends from the Nineteenth
Century in the State of Illinois to political elevations at the
national level in the Twentieth Century. It also highlights the
struggles endured by several of these leaders within their
respective eras and provides insight into the handoffs which
occurred between the leaders at the conclusions of their terms.
Their efforts to organize the disenfranchised produced great
victories in each era. These victories became the stepping stones
for more victories in the succeeding eras. In doing so, these
leaders laid a groundwork for perpetual success and a legacy which
is second to none.
Masonic Abolitionists provides a view of the Masonic Order which
has rarely been seen. It identifies abolitionists as the founders
of the first African American Grand Lodge of Freemasons in
Illinois. This is a must-have book for all Masonic Historians.
