Prince Hall Masonry is a branch of Freemasonry which traditionally consists of African-American members, as it descended from an African-American Lodge which was constituted by the Grand Lodge of England during the Revolutionary War.
Since that lodge was not "allowed" to form its own lodges, many "traditional" Grand Lodges do not recognize Prince Hall as regular. However, in recent years, many of these Grand Lodges have extended recognition to Prince Hall, and brothers from either order can meet together freely.
There are associated Prince Hall orders which are analogous to "traditional" Masonically-affiliated orders such as Eastern Star.
I hope a Prince Hall mason will come in and clean up any inaccuracies I've left here.
