His name was Clayhorn, not Clayborn. He was a homeless, itinerant preacher who refused to wear shoes after, he said, a vision in which God told him to discard them and "walk on holy ground." He did not lead any religious organization and had no formal followers, but was widely respected by the community, including artists of the Harlem Renaissance, which raised funds for his funeral. Thousands of New Yorkers attended it. According to an article in The New York Age in 1932, he accepted the Divinity of Father Divine in his final years. Martin was photographed by the famous photographer, James Van der Zee. His central religious message was that God dwells in every human being, not in church buildings or special individuals only. He was born in the Blue Ridge Mts. of Virginia in 1851 and died in Harlem in 1937.
