 Many North Carolina Masons are probably not even aware, we weren't, that on Saturday, January 5, 2008 Nigeria-born, Canada-raised Dr. Joseph Adegboyega began his year as the first black Master of a North Carolina AF&AM lodge in history.
Worshipful Brother Joseph was born December 21, 1951, in Lagos, Nigeria, son of Raphael and Esther Adegboyega. He is the great grandson of King Jimekun of Ondo, of the Osamawe royal family. This family is directly descended from Oduduwa, ruler of the extinct Yoruba empire which once governed a large portion of West Africa.
He was raised in Mount Moriah in Ontario November 17, 1997. In 2000 the Grand Lodge AF&AM of Canada awarded him a Fellowship of the College of Freemasonry.
Worshipful Brother Adegboyega has a philosophical and open attitude toward racial issues. His grandfather had slaves; his mother is a descendant of slaves. “I keep the past in the past. For now, every Nigerian is equal. I look forward to this new status, feeling free of mental enslavement and ready to love and work as a good Freemason, with my brothers here and beyond.” | |

My brothers,
This is the real answer to how we act as brothers and mansons. I salute NC GL and I hope my GL will have as much courage when that day comes.
Congradulations WBrother Joseph.
S&F,
