This vintage tee is for Hands Across America, a famous fundraising event from 1986. Hands Across America was a public event held on Sunday May 25, 1986, in which approximately 6.5 million people held hands for fifteen minutes to form a continuous human chain across the contiguous United States. It was a project of USA for Africa and backed by major corporate sponsors like Coca Cola and Citibank.

Numerous celebrities took part including Michael Jackson, Yoko Ono, Brooke Shields, Liza Minnelli, future President Bill Clinton, and President Ronald Regan. HAA went on to raise about $15 million which was donated to local charities dedicated to combating hunger, homelessness, and poverty. The legacy of Hands Across America was also referenced in the wildly popular 2019 horror film Us, directed by Jordan Peele.

Fits like a modern unisex adult small. This shirt is soft, thin and distressed with a hole on the shoulder and several runs, see pics.
