Preacher Keeps Vow on Street Corners in Tallahassee
Blind preacher N. L. Williams says a 21 year old vow to sing gospel if raised from a sick bed compels him to perform on street corners. He earns mainly $91 a month in state aid plus coins from passersby, sometimes $5 on a good day, while avoiding blues offers from bands. He has been a Florida capital fixture for nine years despite cataracts that blinded him 25 years ago.
