PATERSON, N.J., May 13 (UPI) -- Tawana Brawley, who falsely accused six men of raping her 25 years ago, was celebrated at a fundraising event in New Jersey, officials said.
Attendees paid $50 for the Sunday event at Integrity Masonic Temple in Paterson, the New York Post reported.
While proceeds from the event went to fund a kids camp run by the Freedom Retreat for Children, some attendees also filled envelopes with cash for Brawley. It wasn't known how much she received.
When Brawley was 15, she was found in a trash bag in Dutchess County with slurs written on her body. She alleged she had been raped by six men, including former Dutchess County prosecutor Steven Pagones and a police officer. However, a grand jury found Brawley's accusations to be false.
Pagones won a defamation lawsuit against Brawley, who was ordered to pay $190,000. Since then, the amount she owes has grown to more than $430,000 with interest.
"Let's let this young queen Tawana know we love her to death," said incendiary former City College Professor Leonard Jeffries, the master of ceremonies for the event.
Brawley, now 40 and who was recently found living under an assumed name in Virginia, did not make any comments at the event.
Pagones, meanwhile, said he was outraged by the event.
"It's ridiculous," he told the Post. "If [Brawley] wanted to be a hero in the justice system, she could come out and admit the entire thing was a hoax. She can do the right thing -- she could just tell the truth."
OK ... I asked “bing” what “Prince Hall” means ... this is all starting to make a little sense.
Don’t need to. I know what Prince Hall Masons are and we are not affiliated in any way.
We sure wouldn’t fill out a grant form to keep our lodge open much less conveniently not fill it out in its entirety .
Besides, something like that would need approval by Grand Lodge .
They are not “Free and Accepted Masons”.
I thought it might be, but couldn't be sure. I thought perhaps they ended up getting their 'grant'.
That it may have a thoroughly dodgy history is another matter.
It's a meeting house/party center for the 'community'. The 'manager' was formerly a 'community organizer'. I don't think they are official 'masons'.
Elks!!!
LOL
Mebbe dey is 'slave masons'.
There you go
This feces-smeared loser owes the guy $440 K. She is such a moronic boob. Pay the guy, you freak, tawana.

This paper describes the anti-Semitism apparent in Dr. Leonard Jeffries’ discussions of the Afrocentrism movement.

In my teens I had a run in with Jeffries’ thugs at a University campus in NJ, was my first experience dealing with organized Anti Semitic African-Supremacists, they were physically blocking white students from entering a lecture hall prior to Jeffries speech.
More Black KKK style racism. Too bad her victims didn’t Trayvon her
I was in a state school in the early 90s and was asked by News 12 NJ about Leonard Jeffries speaking at another one; I said David Duke should speak at ours, and didn’t wait up to see if they aired it that night...
There aren’t enough gubmint jobs for our unassimilated minorities; what are we to do with those that can’t find jobs in the poverty or racial grievance sectors of our economy?
that's what i figured too if it said subordinate...
Prince Hall is not subordinate or an appendage organization.
We only recently allowed for informal communications to each other.
