      I am curious of the origin of this photo. I am a freshman at the University of Kentucky and I am looking for social and environmental effects of mountaintop removal. If there is anyway you could email me about this picture or any other relevant pictures, I would greatly appreciate it. My email is kathrynawallace@yahoo.com

      On 10/28/08, I went to Chester, PA to see Barack Obama speak at the Change We Really Need Rally being held at Widener University. There were about 9000 people there and it was rainy and cold and muddy on the lawn. People were selling shirts and stickers and whatnot. Some people were passing out flyers and hats to promote their causes and this hat was one of the items that was being given away. After the rally, as everyone was leaving the area I saw this hat on the ground and thought the juxtaposition of the word 'clean' and extremely dirty hat was an interesting image.
