Black Fraternal Society's


Before Reading:
I did not know there was a "Mosaic" group.
I did not know what their purpose was of keeping the group together or what their purpose was.

After Reading:
I learned their history of helping the society, their legacy and it might not be the end for them. Their history was mainly about spreading around the U.S.A and helping people, they published themselves as a Company, a Business College, and a Hospital. Their legacy goes all the way back where Moses lead the Jews out of slavery.The article states that the Fraternity might not stay up because not a lot of people joined the group and in a few years the group will die out. But the Museum in Arkansas will always stay up.

Discussion Question:
I think the most important contribution of the Mosaic Templars in the U.S.A was giving financial protection to the black people because in the late 1800's. Racism was a big thing and helping each other is the best thing to do at hard times.

Christian, good work in identifying important information in the article. I like how you used the "KWL" strategy to get information and process it. Please print a hard copy of your answers and bring to class.
