The Prince Hall Memorial will not bear its namesake's image when
it is erected on Cambridge Common this November. No pictures of the
indentured servant-turned-abolitionist can be found, nor much

Masonic lodge he created, he is not a well-known figure.

Cambridge Common today in honor of Hall's birth and oversee the
pouring of the foundation where the memorial is slated to stand. ...
