Your Views: Prayer Band helped bring black, white churches together
Placeholder Image
The Gainesville Prayer Band was originally started by Ms. Blanche Alexander in 1950. She held it in her home for many years, every Saturday night. Later on, she moved it to the church where it was on every first Sunday morning at 6 a.m. She just went to black churches.
