About this title

Synopsis

The Origin and Objects of Ancient Freemasonry: Its Introduction into the United States, and Legitimacy Among Colored Men is a book written by Martin Robison Delany in 1853. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history, origins, and objectives of Freemasonry, with a focus on its introduction into the United States and its legitimacy among African Americans. Delany, a prominent African American abolitionist and writer, explores the role of Freemasonry in the social and political life of the United States, and its impact on the African American community. He delves into the symbolism and rituals of the organization, and argues that Freemasonry has the potential to promote racial harmony and equality. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the role of Freemasonry in the United States during the mid-19th century, and its impact on the African American community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
