Pires, Chairman, African Lodge No. 459, Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts , is the second of our 2021 Lowell Lecture Series: Neighborhood Biographies: Three Centuries of North End History. This lecture introduces Prince Hall as an historical figure, with an emphasis on his achievements and contributions in supporting the argument that Prince Hall should be considered one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Mr. Pires will argue that Prince Hall, an unsung Patriot and forgotten Founding Father, should receive his long overdue recognition.

By highlighting moments in the lives of Thomas Hutchinson, Prince Hall, and Pauline Agassiz Shaw, this lecture series examines their impact on the North End and beyond. This series covers distinct centuries of change in the North End to provide a more inclusive and comprehensive historical narrative.
