Before It Became History | Prince Hall : The Black Leader Who Built Power After Independence

From Boston’s free Black community, Prince Hall built a legacy of civic leadership through education, petitions, and Freemasonry—proving that organized action can expand liberty and opportunity. Discover his lasting impact on American democracy.

Before It Became History, a podcast series from the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, explores the people and moments that shaped the American story. Each episode looks beyond the legend to examine the decisions, conflicts, and ideas that tested the promise of liberty and helped define our democracy.

This is history before it hardened into memory — and a conversation about what it means for us now.
