Bishop Walter "Sweet Daddy" McCollough, McCollough Drum Corps, United House of Prayer for All People Photographs.

No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. Item #021690

Five 8 by 10 inch black and white photographs. The photographs appear to depict a parade and fair put on by the United House of Prayer for All People, with Bishop Walter McCollough presiding at the time. These are perhaps late 1960s-70s. One photo depicts the McCollough Knights Drum Corp from Washington DC, another a concert band from Charlotte, NC, one depicts a small stage area, another depicts Walter McCollough and the last depicts food being handed out. The United House of Prayer for All People was founded by Bishop Charles Manuel "Sweet Daddy" Grace in 1919. It was founded on the principle of it being a place of worship for all people, regardless of denomination or creed. Grace travelled in segregated communities in the South during the 1930s and 40s, often preaching to integrated crowds. Walter McCollough took over after Grace's death in 1960. GOOD condition. All photos bear some faint water staining and discoloration at their right corners. Minor general toning. Slight curling to the photos. Minor creasing at the corners.
