This book analyzes the history of Prince Hall Freemasonry to understand the experiences of the black middle class. Williams uses the 200-year-old organization to document how African Americans navigated exclusion while simultaneously achieving success and adapting to life in the United States. The book uses a sociohistorical approach to provide insight into the social dynamics and challenges faced by this demographic, which had been historically neglected in studies focused on the black lower class.
