Alabama Governor Bob Riley
This is an important update to an article I wrote just yesterday on the news blackout in Alabama concerning Governor Bob Riley's membership in a Grand Lodge that excludes Blacks.
A fellow blogger, The Widow's Son, reprinted an editorial that appeared today in the Huntsville Times in Huntsville, Alabama, which puts the spotlight on the Governor's membership in a Lodge that has refused to do what Masonic Lodges across the country have done, and that is recognize the black Prince Hall Masons and allow Blacks as members.
You can read this editorial by visiting the Widow Son's blog at

It is gratifying to see at least one newspaper in Alabama finally getting around to publishing a story that has appeared at least twice in the national press.
