PARADE DAY
On the morning of the Parade, Saturday 4th October 2008, the Hands of Respect were driven to Towson Senior High School, Michael Phelps' high school, where the Towson High School Band climbed aboard the trailer and surrounded the hands while playing their music. NBC televised the event and showed it live on their Saturday morning show.
Mid-afternoon, an estimated 30,000 people turned out on a stunning Autumn Day in Baltimore Maryland, to celebrate the Parade of Gold, saluting Olympians including arguably the world's greatest athlete, Michael Phelps.
The Hands of Respect float had the company of eight Windsor Mill Middle School kids who had won a competition at their school (Ms Debbie Phelps is the Principal), plus a favourite teacher, Miss Tiki Love. Bruce and Anne Gallash carried the Windsor Mill Middle School banner in front of the float. The parade had 55 floats and bands and covered 1.6 miles along York Street.
The Hands of Respect sculpture attracted much attention with many questions as to how, why, where, what and when and many people had their photographs taken with them.

‘HANDS OF RESPECT’ IN BALTIMORE’S PARADE OF GOLD
TAKING RESPECT TO THE PEOPLE
(ATLANTA - September 27, 2008) - The Hands of Respect, an 8 foot tall, 5 ton bluestone granite sculpture of a male and female hand placed palm to palm, symbolizing respect, have been invited to be part of Baltimore’s Parade of Gold on the 4th October 2008, to welcome home Michael Phelps and his fellow Olympians.
The Hands of Respect were launched on 8.8.08, the opening day of the Beijing Olympics, when they were loaded on a truck and driven through the city streets of Atlanta. The fundamental charter of the Olympic Games is ‘respect’ and the United States Olympic Committee chose ‘respect’ as its educational theme for the 2008 Games, so it was fitting that the Hands of Respect were launched to the world on that day.
The six-fingered hand shape formed when two right hands are placed together is the logo of World-Equity.Org, a global, people-power movement to create a brand that belongs to everyone, able to generate resources to give those in need a hand up, not a hand out.
Plans are underway for ‘Taking Respect to the People’, an 11,000 mile road trip visiting cities and towns in the USA and Canada. It is time to re-invent the ancient currency of respect – treat others as you would want them to treat you. Students are especially important in this movement as they are the future parents, teachers and leaders. They are Gen H, the healing generation, and are more globally connected and aware of global problems than any previous generation.
