Father’s Kingdom, The untold story of the remarkable civil rights pioneer Father Divine – who had over a million followers worldwide and is considered the link between Marcus Garvey and Martin Luther King – but is neglected by historians because he claimed that he was God incarnate. Father Divine’s Peace Mission followers populated Ulster County (with High Falls as the epicenter) in the 1930s.
