#33: Hands Across America
In 1986, millions joined hands in a Spring day moment, forming what they aimed to be the world’s longest human chain, a spectacle many youths partook in without fully grasping its significance: Hands Across America.
More than a feel-good event, Hands Across America showcased collective compassion, netting around $15 million for local charities after expenses. The event aimed to tackle homelessness and hunger issues.
