As the chairperson of the 1972 Billy Graham Crusade in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Dean Colvard discusses his role in the planning and implementation of the religious event. He details the development of such a large crusade by thousands of volunteers and credits the Billy Graham Ministries for its successful planning model. Dr. Colvard talks about the impact of the crusade on Charlotte and, implicitly, the progress he sees in interracial cooperation within the religious community, as evidenced by volunteerism in the early phases of a later Graham crusade. Dr. Colvard discusses a proposed history museum to honor Billy Graham that never came to fruition. Exploring the University Research Park as a possible site, Dr. Colvard and Charlotte leaders ultimately decided against the venture.
