Black Hebrew Israelites

Black Hebrew Israelites is a broad name for groups, from old congregations to street camps, that teach that Black people and others are the true Israel by descent; some add that salvation comes by race and law-keeping, while Scripture teaches that Christ became a curse for us and that every person of every nation is saved the same way.
