Crim: Lifting workers from Poverty–Alta Gracia’s Knights Apparel (The Capital City Hues)

I am fortunate to work at a university that is positively impacting the global economy and changing people?s lives. In early March, I returned from the Dominican Republic where I spent five days visiting factories, meeting with apparel workers and non-governmental organizations on behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I went to observe first-hand a new business model in the apparel industry that is proving to be life changing.
