Garvey Wife speaks on the subject, back in Jamaica, and said that he tried out a few lodges but was displeased by how they were bousoisie controlled, and made clear his issues with that.

WISE Shabazz says:

If Marcus Became A Mason then that means he took the oath. The masons stick behind anything pushing the agenda of colorable law.

Nero Diamante says:
