Biography

Yahweh ben Yahweh (born Hulon Mitchell Jr.; October 27, 1935 – May 7, 2007) was an American religious leader and founder of the black separatist and black supremacist Nation of Yahweh, a new religious movement headquartered in Florida that, at its peak, had thousands of black American devotees. He preached that Jesus was black and that "white devils" temporarily rule over black people, and was seen as teaching hate. Mitchell was indicted on three counts of federal racketeering and extortion charges, of which he was found not guilty.
