>Father Divine and his disciples moved to Sayville, Long Island, New York in 1919. He and his followers were the first black homeowners in town. Father Divine purchased his 72 Macon Avenue house from a resident who wanted to spite the neighbor he was feuding with. >The two neighbors, both German Americans, began fighting when one of them changed his name from Felgenhauer to Fellows in response to anti-German sentiment. His neighbor taunted him, and the feud escalated until Fellows decided to move. >As a final insult, he specifically advertised his home for sale to a "colored" buyer, presumably to lower his neighbors' property value.
