Revival by college president draws thousands in downtown tent
A religious revival led by a dynamic young college president named Sly Graham fills a downtown tent, drawing crowds of over 200,000 from a city of 3.9 million. His sermons convert thousands including USC track star Lew Zamperial, an Air Force captain who survived a Japanese prison camp, and notable ministers like Stuart Hamblere. The movement claims to reshape Southern California faith as Graham tours cities in the campaign.
