“It was really nice to hear a politician support our cause,” said Maria Martinez*, who attended the rally. “She was so understanding and responsive, it really gave me hope that we might actually be able to make this happen.”

Margarine Unie, a four-company union that produced margarine, and the Lever Brothers, a British manufacturing company that produced soap, signed an agreement to create Unilever in the United Kingdom in 1929. Initially, the agreement was signed to keep out of each other’s respective businesses. However, Margarine Unie and the Lever Brothers decided to merge their companies together, officially establishing Unilever as one of the largest industrial mergers in European history in 1930 (Unilever, 2019).

Currently, the food and consumer products manufacturer has two parent companies. Unilever PLC is based in the United Kingdom while Unilever N.V. is based in the Netherlands. The two companies operate as a single corporation that is considered the second largest consumer goods firm in the world.

Tired of waiting for time and space to practice instruments like piano and guitar, Coleman Stanton decided to master the instrument inside him- his voice. At 12 years old, Stanton left behind the heavy instruments in favor of a craft he could work on anywhere and anytime- beatboxing.

Vocal percussion, or beatboxing, is a combination of noises and sounds made with the mouth, lips, tongue and voice to create music. Stanton has a distinctly low bass voice, which allows him to make deeper and more guttural sounds. He honed his craft for four years before trying his luck at public performances.
