To posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to Prince Hall, in recognition of his service to the Black Community as the founder of the first Black Masonic lodge.
HR 9329 would authorize a Congressional Gold Medal to honor Prince Hall, founder of the first Black Masonic lodge (African Lodge #1, established in 1775), recognizing his lifelong advocacy for Black communities through activism, education, and community organizing. The medal, designed by the U.S. Mint, would be displayed at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. This is a symbolic commemorative award with no new policies, funding, or direct impact on living individuals or communities.
