Brethren, I invite your kind attention to the attached joint statement by me and MWGM Quincy Gant, MWPHGL. Today, we are limited to talk and decrees. Soon, however, I hope we will be able to work with our Prince Hall Brethren for joint action that will help heal our community.

[Grand Master Washington DC 2020 @DCGM2020]

Please take a moment to remember our RWB Dean Clatterbuck and his family in your prayers today. His wise counsel and statesmanship will be sorely missed.

"Mansions of the Lord" performed by the Cadet Glee Club of West Point. This song was the closing credits for “We Were Soldiers”. I highly recommend both the song and the movie.

Many (many) years ago, I was privileged to sing with this group. Very appropriate for Memorial Day.

Our Grand Lodge has begun an innovative and carefully structured way for our Lodge Meetings to resume virtually. Thank you to our Grand Lecturer and others who helped develop this temporary policy.

You can't quarantine Spring. Seek beauty and happiness. Post some pictures of the beautiful things you find in your own neighborhoods.

It looks like Brother Sousa didn't have an outlandish sense of humor.

Great pic from the @librarycongress of John Philip Sousa and the masonic members of his band. JPS joined the fraternity in DC and supported their efforts throughout his life. "The March King" even donated one of his famous batons to @DCGrandlodge & is now displayed in our museum.

No matter your race, ethnic heritage, religion, or political persuasion, you can be an American. This piece by the US Army Field Band always lifts my spirits and helps me know we will get through this together. Enjoy. https://t.co/o4KvR5l6N2

Just came from my local Wegmans. Not crowded, no lines, people calm and polite. Fresh foods. Store had some obvious shortages (TP, frozen foods) but otherwise well stocked and people actively re-stocking. Everyone careful to use sanitizer. We’ll survive this.

[Grand Master Washington DC 2020 @DCGM2020]

The Greatest Generation was asked to go to war. We've been asked to stay at home on our living room couches. We can do this.

Very interesting site for education. You'll have to create an account and "enroll", but worth it.

The Good News:
Brotherly love & affection is not canceled
Laughter is not cancelled
Music is not cancelled
Family Time is not cancelled
And Prayer is still in abundance

Make generous use of it all.

[Grand Master Washington DC 2020 @DCGM2020]

Now is a once-in-generation opportunity to exercise clear-headed leadership as a Masonic Officer. Masters- focus on the most vulnerable in your Lodges. It will take effort to reach out and find them.
