HANDS ACROSS AMERICA,..my kind of demonstration!! You probably dont remember this or maybe weren't even born yet!
Hands Across America was a public fundraising event for the hungry and homeless based charities, held on Sunday, May 25, 1986, Memorial Day weekend, which attempted to create a continuous human chain of people holding hands across the contiguous United States. 6 MILLION PEOPLE HELD HANDS OVER A DISTANCE OF 4,000 MILES It was awesome, I was there along
route 30 in front of The Giant Eagle in Irwin. No polarizing placards, no shouting, just solidarity ,,15 minutes of meaningful connection, 15 minutes of creating history with compassion and lots of smiles. IT WAS GEORGEOUS! We need more meaning-making and less mean
