Photograph of American God Worshiped by Zulu in Zululand Shrine
The Philadelphia Public Ledger notes a photograph of Phil Ford being venerated by Zulu natives as an American god. Coronto, once a captive son of a Zulu king, recounts how Ford’s charity saved him and how his image now sits on a throne in a large hut used as a temple, worshipped by thousands.
