“As one of the most revered evangelical leaders in modern history, Billy Graham has helped the less fortunate and prescribed the need for a moral society. He has been spiritual adviser and confidant to 10 Presidents. Over 100 million people have come to see Billy Graham at crusades, and another 2 billion people have watched him on television. His character and strength have made him America's most admired man. He has used his immense popularity to confront major social problems, such as racism, the homeless, and hunger. He continues trying to reverse the decline in our society's morals by emphasizing ethical and spiritual values. Billy Graham was reared in Charlotte, NC, and upon finishing seminary began preaching his message in Tampa, FL. He now has preached to more people than anyone else in history. To extend the reach of his message, he used television, magazines, and a weekly radio broadcast for which he was given a gold star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has also spread his message through his daily newspaper column and 14 books.”
