Before the Suez Canal’s excavation, the Arabian Peninsula and modern Middle East were united with Africa, fostering free movement and rich cultural exchange. In 70 C.E., Roman forces expelled Hebrew Israelites from Jerusalem, setting them on a long journey across Africa and into the Americas, where they endured brutal slavery yet preserved their spiritual heritage in soulful songs and prayers to Yah. Their prophesied return to Israel symbolizes a reclaiming of identity and destiny. Echoing this enduring hope, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned a Promised Land—a spiritual awakening that continues to resonate with African Americans rooted in the Holy Land.
