Logan's fourth annual Unity Fair was a get-together of most—if not all—of Logan’s clubs. Everyone came together to bring food, music and entertainment to both lunch periods.

On the morning of Friday, May 27, Leadership students began setting up in preparation for the big day.

“It was hard because we really didn’t know the layout of it and there was a lot of clubs and a lot of tables we had to move back and forth, and it was wet,” said senior Janae Mayfield. Luckily, everything worked out when the time came for things to get started up.

Tommie Smith (born June 6, 1944) is an African American former track & field athlete and wide receiver in the American Football League. At the 1968 Summer Olympics, Smith won the 200-meter dash finals in 19.83 seconds – the first time the 20 second barrier was broken. His Black Power salute with John Carlos atop the medal podium caused controversy at the time as it was seen as politicizing the Olympic Games. It remains a symbolic moment in the history of the African-American Civil Rights Movement.

Sarah Parker Remond (6 June 1826 – 13 December 1894) was an American physician, lecturer, abolitionist, and agent of the American Anti-Slavery Society. She worked giving speeches throughout the United States over the horrors of slavery. Because of her eloquence, she was chosen to travel to England to gather support for the abolitionist cause in the United States and, after the American Civil War started, for support of the Union Army and the Union blockade of the Confederacy. She was the sister of orator Charles Lenox Remond.
