Ben Ammi has boldly taken on the prophetic mandate to lead all men in word and deed back unto God. A co-founder of the Abeta Hebrew Cultural Center on Chicago's south side, he became one of the center's chief teachers, spokesmen, and organizers. Here he had the vision that an exodus of the Black man from the United States was inevitable, and indeed necessary, if true freedom was ever to be attained. In 1967, Ben Ammi's vision was realized when he led the exodus of 350 African Americans out of Chicago to Liberia enroute to Israel. In 1969, these pioneers made the historic move to Israel fulfilling prophecy. As spiritual leader and Father of the African Hebrew Israelites, Ben Ammi has become the first to succesfully bring about the repatriation of African Americans. Ben Ammi's record of achievements demands the serious respect and attention of all.
