Who We Are - Pearly Gate Court No. 98 HOJ
A Glimpse at Our History
Pearly Gate Court No. 98 Heroines of Jericho Prince Hall Affiliation was chartered July 17, 1906. With God on their side, these ladies worked to establish and build our court to a membership of about 600 members by 1929. They raised money, helped finance construction of new lodges, and supported their neighbors in the 5th Ward Community. We are determined to continue the legacy.
