"Hands Across America was a benefit event and publicity campaign staged on Sunday, May 25, 1986 in which approximately 6.5 million people held hands in a human chain for fifteen minutes along a path across the continental United States. Many participants donated ten dollars to reserve their place in line; the proceeds were donated to local charities to fight hunger and homelessness and help those in poverty."
And here we are, 30 years later, with a photo related to that event (the date is on the banner). That's Mayor Jerry Boatner, second from right. Anyone know the other people in the photo?
