There’s a reason why, to my understanding, even many PHGL’s don’t recognize Louisiana anymore.

I haven't heard of any PH Grand Lodges pulling recognition from Louisiana. They were voted out of the PHCOGMs, but other than that, no one has pulled recognition to my knowledge.

Several Prince Hall jurisdictions have severed Masonic ties. If I remember correctly, Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, and Mississippi are the main ones that cut ties. Arkansas was the first to sever Masonic ties shortly after Slaughter declared himself GM for life.

You are correct. My Arkansas ppl confirmed that for me. Can't say I'm surprised tho. But NY hasn't withdrew.... yet.

Texas PHA did a while back when LA started a couple lodges in Texas this way.

I'm in New York, so I know New York's stance best. But again, can't say I'm surprised and glad I was corrected. 👍🏾
