However, specific names and details about their Masonic affiliations may not be widely documented.
The Haitian Tuskegee Airmen include notable figures such as Eugene Jacques Bullard, who was the first African American military pilot, and other pilots like Charles B. Hall and James H. Hasty. While Bullard served before the establishment of the Tuskegee program, he is often associated with the legacy of the Airmen.

Jerry (IceMan) Butler was the Grand Lecturer for Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, state of Illinois.
Prince Hall went through an initiation ceremony, very similar to the initiations all Masons in the United States undergo today.
Prince Hall was never president of the United States. But in the late 1700s, he was an abolitionist, an educator, and the founder of the "Prince Hall Masons," a Masonic lodge for black men who wished to join what was at that time still a segregated organization.

All black masons in the United States of America are Price Hall masons. I don't think anyone in wikianswers will give you an answer to that question. Maybe you should find a Prince Hall lodge in LA and write them.

If by "Black Freemasons" one is referring to Masons of African heritage, such men are found both in Lodges chartered by the Grand Lodge of Colorado (http://www.coloradofreemasons.org/) and the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah (http://mwphglco.com/).
