It’s fascinating to think that many people know the name “James A. Herod” because of a school in Abbeville, but very few are aware of the significant impact that Rev. James A. Herod had on education, particularly in the black community of Abbeville.
Thankfully, Pastor Walter August, an Abbeville native and current pastor in Houston, is changing that.
With the help of the Nehemiah Projects of Acadiana, more and more Abbeville citizens are learning about the remarkable life and legacy of Rev. James A. Herod than ever before.
