- Note
- Father Divine (ca. 1876 - September 10, 1965), aka George Baker, was an African American religious leader and founder of the Peace Mission Movement. In the 1930s, the period of greatest membership, there were about 160 Peace Missions in North America and Europe, with the bulk of them located in New York. During the Depression, the largest Mission was in Harlem. The majority of Father Divine's followers in this mission were Black migrants from the South and immigrants from the Caribbean; however, in other areas of the country, such as California, white membership predominated.
