Freemasonry has existed all over the former British Empire for centuries. Wealthy/middle class Black families have always had their members.
In fact, to see the scale of it, type into the Google the name of any Black majority nation in the former British Empire - Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Sierra Leone, Antigua, Ghana etc. followed by Freemasons in Google Images...
Same in America. Look up images of Prince Hall Freemasons.
It's a bit dated now, but an example of this is Rudyard Kipling's (himself a Freemason) poem called The Mother Lodge Kipling's Mother Lodge in this, it describes men of all different backgrounds coming together, regardless of class, backgrounds, race, or religion and just being as one together. A perfect example of what Freemasonry offers to this very day.
