    Example: Bridging the Divides in Our Communities and in Our Nation

    Image of a Kentucky public forum.

     

    The Hands Across the Hills experience initiated in the small community of Leverett, Massachusetts, with Letcher County Kentucky was powerful and positive. They listened to each other, learned from each other, and actually left loving each other. It gave them hope that the divisions in this country can be overcome.
