Blindfolded Man Builds Trust With Hug Experiment

With all of the turmoil in our country lately, this video of a blindfolded man building trust with a hug experiment gives me hope.

Hope for our citizens; hope for our country; hope for our future.

David A. Sadler wanted to do the experiment to show that Montgomery, Alabama, the epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement, has come a long way since the 1960s.

Montgomery, AL., where just 50 years ago this simple act of LOVE would have probably had me hanging from a tree... The Capital City is Better Than You Think! do u count? of course u do! - David A. Sadler, Facebook

He set up this sign:

Then he stood there, blindfolded, arms outstretched, and waited.

I wonder what would happen if someone did this at the entrance to the Acadiana Mall?  Do you think that there would be more hugs than not?  Am I being too optimistic to think that people would line up to share a hug?
