Just received: a short Black Hebree Israelite booklet from Rabbi Robert Devine's organisation. Unclear when it was published or how many copies exist, but this is the only one i know of. From a brief perusal of the contents i believe its early 1960s.

The new US ambassador to Poland has condemned the "grotesque falsehood" that Poles were to blame for the Holocaust.
Thomas Rose, who is himself Jewish, also said that Poland is today “the safest country in Europe for a Jew to walk the streets”.

Good news. As many Black American religions, women have been at the forefront of BHI since the beginning and often the mjaority of the membership. I have written on Melinda Morris, early follower of Crowdy and leader of her own church since 1909.
