New in the collection: Billy Graham crusade in London

Postcard with headshot of Billy Graham.

Verso of Billy Graham postcard with text encouraging readers to buy the Star newspaper to read about Billy Graham's crusades at Wembely Stadium.

Billy Graham held crusades in London in 1954, 1955, 1966 and 1989. I believe this postcard-size handout promoting his daily newspaper column was tied to his week-long 1955 appearance  at Wembley Stadium.
