In one of the cathedrals of black America, he melded biblical themes with a call for political action, rallying African-Americans behind his presidential bid as he campaigns in states where the most viable black candidate in history will need their overwhelming support if he is to prevail.

For many years, James Logan High has been a very diverse school. With it’s number of 4000+ students it can appear to some as a small village. Matter of fact, James Logan High has more students than some small towns has citizens.

From wikipedia.com:
John Charles Frémont (January 21, 1813 – July 13, 1890), was an American military officer, explorer, the first candidate of the Republican Party for the office of President of the United States, and the first presidential candidate of a major party to run on a platform in opposition to slavery. During the 1840s, that era's penny press accorded Frémont the epithet The Pathfinder, which remains in use, sometimes as "The Great Pathfinder".
