Original Note:
The claim originates from a book from Louis Farrakhan, a Nation of Islam leader. However, there is no credible historical evidence supporting Farrakhan's claim. Estimates suggest Jewish ownership of enslaved individuals ranged from only a fraction of 1 percent to 2 percent. https://x.com/marionawfal/status/1741489773968015416?s=46&t=4KZJoR-I2iLryQtWzyzjkw https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/jews-and-the-african-slave-trade/
