Ethical Chic
How popular companies like Apple and Trader Joe’s project a hip, progressive image—and whether we should believe them Consumers are told that when they put on an American Apparel t-shirt, leggings, jeans, gold bra, or other item, they look hot. Not only do they look good, but they can also feel good because they are helping US workers earn a decent wage (never mind that some of those female workers have accused their boss of sexual harassment). And when shoppers put on a pair of Timberlands, they feel fashionable and as green as the pine forest they might trek through—that is, until they’re reminded that this green company is in the business of killing cows. But surely even the picki...

Origins
"Dummer township differs from its neighbours in many ways. Perhaps most significant is its geology – the limestone outcroppings and the drumlins and eskers of the Dummer moraine which created a unique challenge for the earliest settlers who attempted to farm the land. But equally important was the character and quality of those settlers themselves – largely self-sufficient, independent yeoman stock from England and Scotland, with a smaller number of Irish families. Little has been written about the groups of English and Scottish settlers who found their way to Peterborough County as part of the great wave of immigration to Canada in the early 1830s.

Lakeland:
Lakeland, the historical African American community of College Park, was formed around 1890 on the doorstep of the Maryland Agricultural College, now the University of Maryland, in northern Prince George's County. Located less than 10 miles from Washington, D.C., the community began when the area was largely rural and overwhelmingly populated by European Americans. Lakeland is one of several small, African American communities along the U.S. Route 1 corridor between Washington, D.C., and Laurel, Maryland. With Lakeland's central geographic location and easy access to train and trolley transportation, it became a natural gathering place for African American social and recreational activities, and it thrived until its self-contained uniqueness was undermined by the federal government's urban renewal program and by societal change. The story of Lakeland is the tale of a community that was established and flourished in a segregated society and developed its own institutions and traditions, including the area's only high school for African Americans, built in 1928.
