Hands Across America was a public fundraising event on Sunday, May 25, 1986, when 5 to 6.5 million people held hands for 15 minutes in an attempt to form a continuous human chain across the contiguous United States. The attempt to have a complete line of people across the country failed, although the number of participants would have been sufficient to succeed if they had been spread out over the full length of the planned course. The various gaps in the line between participants were filled using ribbons, ropes, or banners.

  • Hands Across America est un événement caritatif doublé d'une campagne publicitaire organisé le dimanche 25 mai 1986 dans lequel environ 6,5 millions de personnes se sont tenu la main dans une chaîne humaine pendant quinze minutes tout au long d'un itinéraire traversant les États-Unis et reliant New York à Los Angeles. De nombreux participants ont donné dix dollars pour réserver leur place dans la chaîne ; les fonds ont été reversés à des œuvres caritatives locales pour lutter contre la faim et le sans-abrisme et aider les personnes en situation de pauvreté.
