Billy Graham
(1918-2018)
Who Was Billy Graham?
Religious figure and Christian evangelist Billy Graham was preaching at an L.A. revival and was a guest on Stuart Hamblen's radio show in 1949.
The publicity made Graham a superstar and he began broadcasting his sermons globally. Though detractors criticized Graham for being too liberal, one Time reporter dubbed him "the Pope of Protestant America." Graham retired in 2005 and later died at his North Carolina home on February 21, 2018, at age 99.
Early Life
William Franklin Graham, Jr.
was born on November 7, 1918, in Charlotte, North Carolina, to parents William and Morrow Graham. Graham was the first of four children raised on the family's dairy farm in Charlotte. In hindsight, there was little indication that Graham would one day preach the Christian gospel to as many as 215 million people in live audiences over 185 countries.
Graham has been credited with preaching to more individuals than anyone else in history,
