I was watching National Treasure the other day, I know it's been out for awhile, but I was waiting for it to come out on video.

Does anyone else know anything about this group.

I looked up the Freemasons on the web and came across a sight explaining it. I always thought it was for rich white men only.

I was wrong!! Jessy Jackson is a freemason.
