Local history: Hands Across America united us 35 years ago
United we stood. Americans lined up 35 years ago in an attempt to form a human chain that stretched from sea to shining sea.
When the time arrived, strangers clasped hands and sang along as hundreds of U.S. radio stations played the same song at once.
“Hands across America,” people sang cheerfully. “Hands across this land I love. Divided we fall. United we stand. Hands across America.”
In an idealistic era when high-profile events were staged to combat hunger and homelessness, Hands Across America was exceedingly ambitious. More than 5 million people participated Sunday, May 25, 1986, as the chain snaked its way from New York to Los Angeles through 16 states and the District of Columbia.
35 years later, Hands Across America is back virtually
In 1986, millions of people did something that feels a bit crazy in our pandemic world today: they held hands across America to raise funds to combat hunger and homelessness in the United States. Thirty-five years later, the revolutionary event is back in a virtual setting.
The hand-holding event pulled out more than 6 million people across the United States, who clasped hands for 15 minutes in an attempt to form a ginormous human chain.
To hold their place in the chain, most participants pledged at least $10, which was later donated to charities fighting hunger and homelessness. Hands Across America donated about $15 million to organizations.
