The Village of Leclaire was founded in 1890 as an experiment in cooperative living by St. Louis manufacturer N. O. Nelson. Small Victorian cottages with electric lights and running water were built by Nelson's company and sold at near cost to promote home ownership. The innovative Leclaire factory buildings were described by reporter Nellie Bly as the "ideal perfection of buildings for man to labor in," and workers were eligible for pension and profit-sharing opportunities. An educational building and clubhouse provided venues for a variety of programs including a kindergarten, guest speakers, social clubs, and concerts. A baseball diamond, bowling alley, and boating lake were also available to residents. Nelson believed that conflicts between labor and capital could be resolved if his workers' lives were fulfilling. His "company town" was nationally known for placing the welfare of his workers in high regard.

Das Zweite Brandenburger Antike-Denkwerk zielt auf die Zusammenarbeit der Klassischen Philologie der Universität Potsdam mit fünf landesweit ausgewählten Schulen. 2015/6 war das Projekt dem Thema „Würde“ gewidmet. Erste Aspekte beleuchteten Prof. Dr. Claudia Tiersch und PD Dr. Stefan Büttner-von Stülpnagel auf dem Potsdamer Lateintag. Anschließend wurde das Thema von den am Projekt beteiligten Schülerinnen und Schülern unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Ursula Gärtner in ganz unterschiedlichen Produkten umgesetzt. Alle diese Beiträge versammelt der vorliegende Band. Das Projekt wird von der der Robert-Bosch-Stiftung gefördert.
