Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America is a 2018 film directed, written, and produced by Ronald Dalton Jr. The film espouses antisemitic messaging and spreads misinformation.[2] It contains antisemitic tropes, Holocaust denial, and claims of an international Jewish conspiracy.[3][4]
The film is based upon a book of the same name, also written by Dalton, that promotes Black Hebrew Israelite beliefs. It is homemade, low-budget, and existed in relative obscurity from the time of its release until October 2022.[5] That month, National Basketball Association player Kyrie Irving posted a link to it on his Twitter account and was subsequently suspended by his team, the Brooklyn Nets.[6]
