BROWNSVILLE, August 21- The University of Texas at Brownsville/Texas Southmost College is going to play a major role in Hands Across el Rio, the grassroots protest against the federal government's plan to build a border wall.

Hands Across el Rio officially launches Aug. 25 in El Paso, and then makes its way across the length of the Rio Grande River, ending on Boca Chica beach on Sept. 9. The hand-holding event will be held on the pedestrian walkways at each community's international bridge.
