The Billy Graham crusade held in Knoxville, Tenn. was an evangelical revival meeting, the 204th of 417 revivals that took place from 1949 – 2005. This event took place in Neyland Stadium and brought in growing crowds each night, reaching 75,000 attendees in the Stadium and 20-25,000 outside Neyland on the May 28, 1970, the day that presidential guest Richard Nixon addressed the crowds. Nixon’s attendance at the Billy Graham revival was significant, as his appearance at the University of Tennessee was the first appearance he made on a college campus since the Kent State shootings earlier that month. Nixon’s appearance at UT was touted by the press as President Nixon Welcomed on College Campus, despite the fact that most participants in the Billy Graham crusade were not students. In a time of nationwide unrest on college campuses due to anti-Vietnam war sentiments (specifically as a result of the Cambodian bombings) and the Kent State massacre, Nixon’s appearance was met with protest demonstrations organized by approximately 500-600 college students and about one dozen faculty members. The protestors distributed anti-war signs, the most notable of which reading, Thou Shall Not Kill. Nixon’s arrival in the stadium was met with chanting of vulgarities by the protestors, resulting in the police moving to photograph the protestors for later identification and arrest.
