| The conclusion of the crusade (at least the conclusion of the almost continuous series of sermons by Graham), was held in the open air at 7pm at Broadway and 42nd Street. Broadway was closed off from 34th Street through 47th Street and filled with people. The size of the crowd was estimated at between sixty and seventy-five thousand. Graham preached on the topic: "The Unknown God." |
