Could free hugs be the solution to racial tension?
One man hopes so.
Ken Nwadike has been traveling throughout the country offering free hugs to police officers and protesters along with pretty much everyone else.
Nwadike's latest video came after the CEO of Superhero Events visited Charlotte, North Carolina following violent protests after a man was shot and killed by a police officer.

Nwadike began the project after he failed to qualify for the 2014 Boston Marathon a year after the Boston Marathon bombing. Instead of running, he said via the group's Facebook page that he decided to attend the event anyway. Instead of running, Nwadike began to offer hugs.
The main video for the Free Hugs Project has 2.6 million views on YouTube.
